Title: DGSII - 8th Air Force Recruiting

Greetings All,

The 8th Air Force is currently recruiting for pilots interested in flying Bombers and Fighters in the Der Grosse Schlag II scenario this coming October.

Why so early you ask?  Well it is called team building and immersion.  There might be a couple other good reasons to get in early as well, more on that later.

We want people who are interested in history of the time and people involved.

Currently we are looking for good P-51, P-38, B-17G and B-24J pilots.  There are a couple B-24 command slots still available as well.  If you are interested, please
PM Guppy35 or myself and we will answer any questions you might have and get you into the forum if you commit.

Thanks for your time and interest, this one is going to be one for the history books.. in more ways than one!  :aok

Cheers!

Still accepting PMs from interested players to get in on the good stuff on the run up to the event.  Almost all the units are formed with many already fully manned.  Get in now and reserve your place.

There are rumors that there might be exciting things coming up before October.   :noid

I'd like to fly a B-17, but if they are filled up, you can put me in any allied plane.

There might be one or two 17s left, I know we have a few 24s.  We will get you added to the forum and you can choose your unit.

the few seem to be split 50-50 as to who to fly for,  our Saxon cousins or the mighty 8th   

I need 1 over powering reason from both C.O's  as to why we should fly for them.   Answers on a postcard please to my Inbox.    tyvm.     :D

Sorry to pop your bubble, but I got him in the main arenas, with a 51 and a 38 there to help him.   Showed my team how it was done, we know his weak spot  :neener:

He didn't even make the sheep bounty board  :rofl

I know you have not forgot us, but I am bringing 8 Devil Dogs, plus myself as commander of one of the 447th squadrons, flying B-17's.
