May FSO - "Air Battles Before Bodenplatte"
« on: April 25, 2016, 09:50:22 PM »
Gentlemen,

Get ready for some high powered LW action in the ETO in "Air Battle Before Bodenplatte". This event focuses on the early winter of 1944 before "Operation Bodenplatte" was executed by the Luftwaffe.

Please review the write up here.

Please enjoy this video that will introduce some of the aircraft of the period.



Please look to set side selections and preference this week.

Regards,

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

OK. Just no mention of the P-51D until indicating home fields. Thought it might be an error.  :salute  :cheers:
