It is D-Day, 15 August 1944, a few minutes before dawn. USS Tulagi CVE-72 is turning into the wind, about to launch her first strikes in support of "Operation Dragoon", the Allied invasion of southern France. For the next 7 days you, one of her best pilots will fly, sometimes several sorties a day. your missions will vary from strikes on airfields, rail yards and even shipping to Close Air Support of ground forces, Search and Destroy and Combat Air Patrol. You may find yourself in an F6F-5 Hellcat, a TBF Avenger or an F6F-5N Hellcat night fighter. You will see what they AND you can do against the intense German FLAK and Luftwaffe aircraft.
The missions for this campaign, with a few exceptions are fictional but highly represent the sort of missions actually carried out by the Allies here in this theatre. The concept for some of them was based in info, gleaned from missions done by Talon (RIP).
