NOBALL

Quote
In April of '44, in preparation for Operation: Overlord, the Allies began a heavy strike campaign to help pave the way and make it easier to land on the beaches of Normandy. During this time, the 8th and 9th Air Forces stationed in Great Britain launched several hundred attacks against V-bomb sites (NOBALL targets), airfields, factories, and other strategic targets in Germany and occupied Europe. These attacks, code-named POINTBLANK, were made in an attempt to isolate the battlefield and for the Luftwaffe to move their fighters farther East as D-Day grew closer.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
