P-38 BOMBER ESCORT TRAINING

During the winter of 1942, the P-38F
began appearing in Africa, and escorted
B-17s on their mission of strategic
bombing against the ports of the
Afrika Korps.

              YOUR MISSION

Follow your flight leader as the two of you
escort a box of four B-17s en route to
bomb a Luftwaffe airfield.  Several
waves of Luftwaffe fighters will attack the
bombers.  Engage the enemy planes, and
keep them away from your bombers to
ensure that they hit their target.  Also,
remember that you are responsible for
defending your flight leader as he attacks
the enemy interceptors.  Once the
bombers turn for home, stay with them
until they reach the coast of England.

Your mission will not end automatically.
You must choose to quit.  Please see your
reference guide for instruction on how to
quit, as well as information on other
controls.
