Background
***********
May, 1944, North Sea. Many coastal command
and Fleet Air Arm squadrons were tasked with
intercepting shipments of ore from Norway to
Germany, largely to interrupt the supply of
essential metals for armaments. Tungsten was
one such critical metal and was important to
the development of high-temperature resistant
turbine blades for Jumo jet engines. Due to
continuing shortages of tungsten the Germans
had to make do with nickel alloys that would
not hold up to the heat of a Jumo jet engine.
The engines of the Me-262 were not reliable
in large part to the actions of the RAF and
RCAF Mosquito squadrons over the North Sea.
This Snap Shot features flights of Mosquito
attack aircraft of 404 'Buffalo' Squadron
RCAF armed with machine guns, cannons, 500
lb bombs and 'rocket projectiles' escorted
by Corsair IIs of 1834 Squadron Fleet Air Arm.
German Bf-109-G6 interceptors of
IV./JG 5 'Eismeer' are scrambled to intercept.
