FACE OFF AGAINST LATEST SECRET WEAPONS

In early 1945 the Eighth Air Force was
actually running out of targets. The great
part of the German war industry was des-
troyed. However, the Luftwaffe was not
yet dead and the research was still
working at an amazing level. So German
research sites were on the list of prime
targets for allied heavy bombers and
fighter-bombers.
The introduction of the He 162 in February
1945 gave the Luftwaffe a new, quite com-
petent interceptor. Yet, only one group
equipped with this type was formed,
I./JG1, and in April it was transferred
to Jagdverband 44, located near Munich.
Because of the bad general situation of
the Luftwaffe at that point of time, only
two (unconfirmed) victories are claimed
by He 162 pilots.


YOUR MISSION

You are the leader of three P-38s on an
especially important mission. Because of
more and more encounters with jets, allied
Generals decided to bomb German research
sites in order to prevent more Secret
Weapons developed. Lead your flight on
a low-level bomb and strafe run against
the Lechfeld research site. Get in quick,
drop all bombs and get out quick to avoid
the dense fire of the Flak.
The problem of this mission is that you
will meet enemy jet fighters from the
elite J.V.44, from I./JG 1 and probably
some Go 229s from JG 400.
While in the target area, stay below 200
feet, so that flak can't hit you.
You have two P-38s as escort, which will
do their best to help you.
Good luck, you'll need it!
