OPERATION RHINO German fighter production hinges on the production of many things and one of them is engines. The Germans have recently introduced new versions of the formidable Fw190 fighter. One of the plants that build the engine for this new version is located in Kiel, which is located on the northern German peninsula of Schleswig-Holstein. Mission Orders Lead your group of B17s on a circuitous route to the the target that brings you in from over the North Sea. Bomb the Kiel engine factory. Enemy opposition is expected to be fierce. Your fighter escort will only be with you for a short while once you cross the enemy coast before they have to turn for home because of fuel restrictions. Bomber command doesn't expect this to be a picnic and does expect you to fight your way into the target and out again. ---------------------------------------- Rhino.MIS/TXT created by K. Heitmann
