Oh the scene above the shore,
Pounding toward what fates in store.
Soaring birds give way to man,
Praying not to merge with land.
The rolling sea below does shine,
As high above the engines whine.
The desert sands like amber glow,
In close formation we dare not slow.
The ships out front on the cresting sea,
Shudder and release a blackened tea.
Fashioned strips of hard surfaced earth,
Burn with fury like hell's own hearth.
Streaking flashes passed the window dome,
Our escorts arrive to bring us home.
Through the clouds our craft breaks free,
So ends our dread replaced with glee.

Ju-88 bombers are sitting in the hangar ready to be crewed to get our bombs on target through whatever the enemy can throw at us. It's up to the might of the Luftwaffe to break the siege on our Tunisian stronghold. Each passing day the Allies gain strength, but every base they build must be defended and well supplied by shipping in order to keep their attack up. Our air power must provide the backbone for our forces to achieve victory. For that to happen, their bases must be neutralized and the Mediterranean must be littered with their supply ships. If that sounds like your cup of schnapps, then register for the Axis side and look up the KG 54 "Totenkopf" or the KG 76 - both squads need pilots!
The Axis bomber effort flying Ju-88s includes tactical targets such as airfields, v-bases and ship convoys. A dedicated high command and scenario staff are hard at work to provide a historically immersive event that is sure to provide some intense action. The event runs from noon to midnight Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday, October 22nd for everyone to play as much or as little as they'd like. If that sounds like a blast to you and your friends, I hope you pick from the Axis Ju-88 squads: KG-54 and KG-76. That said, I look forward flying with or against y'all in any capacity.
