• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Has just received their new 250 Lb. Candle Marker Bombs. During the last part of 1942 the Germans had considerable success in copying and thwarting the efforts of some PFF operations.

Group Commander shown here on a practice run with the new weapon. The bomb explodes 300 ft above the ground discharging mulitiple candles.

In the next update you will be flying night Lancaster missions following well defined flare paths to your target. If you guys can't find the target with these we will have to reassign you to Kitchen work.:d

One of the new missions included with the update. Night Lancaster attack on the railyard at Rouen. You can clearly see the red flare path leading you to the target.

In this mission your first WP is out over the channel where you will look for white sodium flares droped by Coastal Command Wellies. These Wellies will lay a flare navigational path for the heading you should take towards France. The heading will take you over the coast at a point with the fewest AA batteries.
