P-47D Thunderbolt
Near dusk on D-Day the 388th Fighter Squadron was given its fourth mission of the day: Destroy mortar and howitzer batteries near the Lounges Artillery Battery. The battery, already knocked out by naval gunfire, was designed to engage warships. The mortars and small howitzers, mounted in concrete shelters beside the big guns, were used to kill infantry and landing craft on the beach and they were still doing that job. Take them out while there is still daylight remaining.

The IX Tactical air Command was created within 9th US Air Force in April 1944 to provide close air support to the First US Army in the Normandy Invasion. It was tasked with isolating the battlefield from German resupply and reinforcement by targeting bridges, road junctions, supply dumps, railroads, airfields and radio towers and maintaining the air superiority already achieved in Normandy. After the Normandy landings, the targets were expanded to include vehicles of all types and troop formations. The IX TAC was commanded by Maj. Gen. Elwood "Pete" Quesada, a pioneer in aerial ground support.

By April 1945, Germany was evacuating its entire Norway garrison to reinforce its troops defending Berlin against the rapidly advancing Red Army. The German Navy commandeered every serviceable merchant ship in Norway to transport its soldiers and equipment.
On 11 April 1945, Norwegian Mosquito scouts sighted a convoy of merchant ships departing Porsgrunn loaded with German troops heading south. Wing Commander Junior Simmonds was assigned to lead a force of Mosquitos and escorting Mustangs to intercept the German ships.
At the same time a force of Luftwaffe Bf-109G14s was assigned to provide air cover to the convoy.

By the spring of 1945 the Russians were advancing along the Baltic Sea coast of Germany. Rather than risking the capture of their remaining U-Boats, the German Navy began evacuating them to the only bases they still considered secure: Norway. The route available was through the Kattegat, which had been heavily mined by the RAF forcing the submarines to run on the surface in narrow lanes cut by German minesweepers.
The Kattegat thus became a major hunting ground for the Banff Strike Wing's Mosquito FB VIs in the closing months of the war..
This is an historic mission. You will face considerable flak. Be careful!

This is a training mission for Mossie drivers who want to fly with the Banff Strike Wing against German shipping along the Norway Coast. It is designed to give you practice at engaging with the 25-pound rockets the Banff Strike Wing used (they tried the Mossie Tsetse with the large cannon and rejected it in favor of 5-inch solid tipped rockets, which they decided were more effective).
