The Mighty 8th (WW2) [1st Main]

  ++MISSION BRIEFING++

"Your primary object will be the progressive destruction and dislocation of the German military, industrial, and economic system
and the undermining of the morale of the German people to a point where their capacity for armed resistance is fatally weakened."
Directive to the appropriate British and U.S. Air Force Commanders, January 21, 1943

It is 1944. The ongoing bomber campaign has seen little results, leading to a change of strategy. Targets will be attacked to draw out the Luftwaffe fighter aircraft so that it may be destroyed by our fighters. The 8th Air force has assigned your Bombardment Group to this new mission.

Attack the ball bearing factory, a destroyer and the three U-Boats in the docks at Kavala; they are believed to be unmanned at the present time.

20mm light AA has been spotted near the targets, and near Luftwaffe bases. We expect the Luftwaffe to bring reinforcements from a larger airbase on the mainland. Heavy AA has been concentrated at the airbase on the mainland and, thus, is absent from the Island.

++OBJECTIVES++

USAAF Bombers: Destroy the marked strategic targets in Kavala, this may require multiple sorties.

USAAF Escorts: Destroy Luftwaffe aircraft. Protect the bomber flight. 

Luftwaffe Interceptors: Limit damage to Kavala.
