Title: What you want: 15th Air Force vs. Luftwaffe, strategic bombing campaign
Post by: Brooke on February 13, 2016, 09:19:52 PM
Join us for the 15th Air Force vs. the Luftwaffe.

You Aces High players say this is your favorite:  action like you read about in WWII books by US and Luftwaffe fighter pilots and by bombers crew.

High-alt B-24's, with the US's finest of the day in P-51B's and P-38J's vs. experten in 109G's, 190A-5's, and some 110G's.

The US 15th Air Force, out of newly-captured Foggia, Italy, is trying to bomb the Wehrmacht into oblivion, and the Luftwaffe is having none of it.

Mighty Knights of the Air fighting for the future of the world, up in the rarified burning blue.

Join us Saturday at 3 pm Eastern in Special Events II arena for this last frame of the "Southern Conquest" scenario.

Make it a day to remember for years to come.

Join us for the glory.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

"Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
put out my hand and touched the face of God.

The real 15th AF action
