MAINTAIN SECRECY!!
August 5th, 1943
You are training in a revolutionary
plane- the Me262 JET fighter. It is
still a month before you feel the
Gruppen will be ready to enter the air
war, but you are anticipating the
surprise and dismay of the Americans
already. The United States first P-51D
Mustang group will begin escorting the
bombers at roughly the same time you
will, heh heh! It may very well be the
best prop-engined fighter, but it
cannot hope to stand against your
Messerschmitt!
Currently you are testing the
handling of the jet at very high
altitudes. It handles beautifully, you
think, when the harsh crackle of the
in-flight radio interrupts your
thoughts.
"Achtung.", speaks the radio. "An
American P-47 has somehow managed to
avoid our interception and is heading
home. We fear he may have seen a
glimpse of your jets. The implications
are terribly enormous if he survives
and reaches his airfield. He MUST be
destroyed- at all costs! Halt your
training and intercept him! Do NOT
allow him to return to England!"
You open your throttle.
