Today we have been given command of the 407th Squadron in the 92nd Bomb Group based out of RAF Podington. Our job is to plan the missions, manage the repair of aircraft, and replacement crews to ensure we have enough serviceable B-17 bombers to complete each mission.

ABOUT THIS GAME
The missions undertaken by the crews of B-17 bombers during World War II are the stuff of legend. What was it like to fly through relentless anti-aircraft fire over Nazi-occupied Europe? What was it like to have a thin layer of steel between life and death at 15,000 feet? How did it feel to furiously fend off enemy fighters zipping around your plane and then to precisely deliver your payload over enemy targets?
Find out for yourself as you lead a 10-man crew to victory... or defeat... against squadrons of Nazi warplanes in the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress!
