A few minutes before launch I grabbed my 17 and loaded her up with come bombs, I hopped on command vox and to my suprise was tasked with leading the rest of the B17's to out target in 12,12.
We started at an airstart of 20k, as i heard screams of pilots ripping their wings off I tried to get my bomber in the air and get some kind of formation going.
After a few minutes 1/2 of the B17's and other fighters were no where to be found, Lilsquid (CO) ordered us to fly straight in to the target, so me and a band of about went straight on course.
I took a while to get formed up, luckily some of the 91st were with us and we were able to get into somewhat of a tight formation.
Were cruising along when out of nowhere a Fw 190A8 splashes through our group, luckily no one is hurt and a few of out escorts jump him.
Now the alarm has been sounded! Withing minutes all hell breaks loose, 109's and 51's dodging in and out of our bomber group trying to kill each other, 190's blasting away at out bombers but we are putting up a good defence.
We manage to get through another wave of fighters, but another will be coming any minutes! We quickly regroup and get ready for another attack.
Her it comes the first one in is a Fw 190A8 gun blazing from both aircraft tout B17's and his 190 have a head to head joust. The 190 makes it through and splashes on of my drones, one of our P51 escorts take him out a few seconds later.
Soon more fighters show up from out high 12 o`clock! 109's, the come down on us like steel rain ripping the tails off some of our B17's, but its not over yet! Frantically we all jump in out tail and ball guns blazing!
Down to one drone i try to form up with the rest of my group by having only 3 engines makes it hard. Soon we are over our target, the city of Frankfurt, most of out bombers make it there in one piece and are ahead of me, the drop their bombs on the city and hi tail it out of there!
Sadly, a Messerschmidt sneaks up one and and slaughters my last remaining B17 and the frame is over for me.
