Title: Big Week (February 20-25, 1944)
Post by: RAT on July 27, 2009, 10:10:40 PM

AH ever put on a Big Week scenario? 

On February 20, 1944, the United States Strategic Air Forces launched Operation Argument, a series of missions against the Third Reich that became known as "Big Week." The planners intended to lure the Luftwaffe into decisive battle by launching massive attacks on the German aircraft industry. By defeating the Luftwaffe, the Allies would achieve air superiority and the invasion of Europe could proceed.

Historical Allied aircraft:
P-38J's, P-51B's, P-47D's, B-24's, B-17's, B-26's.

Historical German aircraft:
FW-190A's. JU-88's, ME 109G's, ME 110G's.

Apologies...  I should have posted the above in the "Scenario General" section.

Sounds like it's in need of a good dusting-off (*hint* *hint* *nudge*).

I understand that it wouldn't be soemthing we will be seeing in the near future, but I would be interested in participating in a Big Week scenario sometime down the pipeline.
