         RESOLVE MISSION

   The time is now late fall 1943.  The
Eighth is still trying to find its place
with the Allied Air Program.  There is no
doubt the Eighth has Resolve.

    You are the leader in a group of three
B-17's enroute to the Wesseling Refinery.
The Eighth is desperately trying to find
the strategy to bring home more of its
bombers.  To that end, there will be a
further 2 groups of B-17's flying with
your group.  Their target is the Cologne
Armament Factory. 

    Your group will stay with the other
two groups as your target is to be bombed
first.  Stay with these other groups for
safety and mutual fire support.  Your
secondary objective is to photograph
the Cologne Armament Factory during the
bombing for Intelligence to analyze
how effective daylight bombing is.

    Remember, it is late 1943 and Germany
still has lots of fighters to field in
the air against the Eighth.
