Massacre at Magdeburg The Luftwaffe has been on the run and your bombers have been ranging free over the Reich for quite some time now. However, things may be swinging the other way. The last few raids over Germany there have been reports of new aircraft that have phenomenal speeds joining the intercepting packs of Luftwaffe Fw190s. These planes are so fast that the gunners report that the power turrets aren't fast enough to track these new aircraft as they fly past. Mission Orders You are the lead and low group in a six plane formation of B17s. Your mission starts over Oschersleben on your way to your first waypoint and your turn to the bomb run on Magdeburg. Your group will bomb three targets in Magdeburg: the oil refinery the engine factory, and the railroad center. Your target as the lead group is the oil refinery. As you approach Magdeburg your group will split up shortly to bomb their targets. You should fly due north and regroup at a point about 4 miles north of the city. You will be escorted by P-51D fighters, but be on your toes and have your guns manned. The new weapon the Luftwaffe has is more than likely to make an appearance. --------------------------------------- Massacre.MIS/TXT created by K. Heitmann
