"Little-brother" Escort Mission

American fighters on escort with the
bomber streams were called several
nicknames, such as, "little friends",
and "little brothers", etc. 

On this mission the P-51B escorts are
assigned to get the bombers through
to their targets at Essen.

              Mission Orders

You are in command of a group of 4
P51Bs on an escort mission for 6 B-17Gs
heading for Essen. 

Your mission is simple: Protect the 
bombers and get them through the enemy 
fighter opposition so they can attack
their target. 

Reports indicate that German fighters
have been making use of their unguided
rockets called "Pulkzerstoerer"
or formation destroyer.

Your best bet is to get these fighters
before they gete close enough to your
bombers to fire their rockets.

A good position to be is right behind
the bomber formation with your throttle
set for about 40%. While flying in the
slot behind the bombers, scan the sky
for the enemy fighters that are sure
to make an appearance sooner or later.
