I'm actually reading about this at the moment!


I started on this book months ago but had to put it aside since I wasn't in the reading "zone" but I'm into it again now.
I thought it would make for an interesting scenario then too.

Try "To Win the Winter Sky" by Danny Parker.  It covers roughly Late November through January 1944-45.  What a brawl it was for those tac air guys on both sides during the Battle of the Bulge time frame.

Someone gather 120 people to fly allies, of which 100 will sit in planes parked in rows for 3 or 4 frames and then I will be happy to write up Bodenplatte as a full fledge scenario.  :lol
