In April of '44, in preparation for Operation: Overlord, the Allies began a heavy strike campaign to help pave the way and make it easier to land on the beaches of Normandy. During this time, the 8th and 9th AirForces stationed in Great Britain launched several hundred attacks against V-bomb sites (NOBALL targets), airfields, factories, and other strategic targets in Germany and occupied Europe. These attacks, code-named POINTBLANK, were made in an attempt to isolate the battlefield and for the Luftwaffe to move their fighters farther East as D-Day grew closer.

The numbers for the Wed night snapshot have really been UP for the past couple weeks.  I would like to see a large turnout tonight if at all possible.

These snapshots are a blast when 30-50 pilots are flying them.  Try to bring as many as you can, and announce it in the MA for me.

SNAPSHOT TONIGHT!!! WOOOOT!!!
