EIGHT IN A DAY

Erich Rudorffer, the Kommodore of II./JG
2, had his best day of the war when he
bagged eight enemy planes on 9 February
1943 about 120 miles south of Tunis.
Equipped with FW190s, he scrambled from
Kairouan to intercept the inbound strike.
Coming from the west, the Allied force
consisted of about 24 B-17s, 18 P-40s,
twenty P-38s and twenty Spitfires.  The
dogfight began at 21,500 feet, with the
P40s flying above as top cover.  After
awhile, the P-40s went into a defensive
circle (known as the Lufbery Circle)
which was useless, as he proceeded to
shoot down 6 of them in 7 minutes.  He
then saw the P-38s on the deck, doing
strafing runs, and dove down to them,
shooting down two.

MISSION

Lead your schwarm of FW190s against the
inbound Allied force.  Although attacking
the B-17s is important, don't forget
about the P-38s.  Consider this scenario
a victory if less than 6 buildings are
destroyed.

NOTES

This is a day mission.
