AMERICAN B-17 MISSION: Munster Bombing

This routine once a week mission is to 
bomb the munitions plant at Munster. You 
are a wingman in a group of four 
bombers. Just follow the leader, drop 
when he says to, and follow him on back.

Activity in this area has been quiet for 
the past month since the Allied forces 
overran the Luftwaffe station here at 
Deelen.

Intelligence expects no need for fighter 
escort on this run. However, they do 
advise all flights to keep on the 
lookout for a resurgence in Luftwaffe 
activity of any kind.

CLASSIFIED: On last week's run, one of 
the bomber pilots reported seeing an 
unknown aircraft some miles to the east, 
moving at a tremendous rate of speed, 
but it never came close enough to get a 
good look at. For this reason, your 
flight plan will take you more to the 
east and then southeast on a course to 
the target area. Make careful 
observations of any aircraft or ground 
installations you see.


(However, if you'd rather be downing 
B17's, try B17-DEF to be on the German 
side of this mission.)
