Up next week: Winter on the Rhine

[Mister Fork]

Winter on the Rhine, January 1945
As Hitler bumbles opportunity after opportunity to stop the Allied forces, he pulls all remaining forces back toward Germany.  The American and British forces are now planning their final push - the Luftwaffe is now a shell of its former self, but new iron in the air, in particular the 109K-4 and Dora, can still pack a punch.  With the entire Nazi forces now in full retreat, they're mindful of the recent sting from Bastone and the still powerful German Armored divisions.  US forward commanders have a few British and Canadian ground attack squadons at their disposal, and they intend to use them to chase the Nazi's back to Berlin before Stalin does.

36F......whagt's the dewpoint, density altitude, and humidity? sounds like great performance can be expected. caution should be observed though, as carb ice could be a problem.

Ohhhhh, pilot talk, Cap! I like it!  . A little carb ice would definitely throw a wrench in the works whilst going up hill in a vertical scissors.
