Good afternoon,

Since I had another snow day today, I have uploaded the overhauled "Operation Tidal Wave" mission set. This is another package which has moved into the "retired" category, as it has been updated with infrastructure, aircraft, and the overall play of the mission.

Be warned...both versions of the mission have no warping allowed, so the “full mission” is slightly over eleven hours in length, covering close to 2,000 miles, as it was in real life. The shortened mission has you enter the flight on the Romanian side of the Danube River, and is considerably shorter, lasting just over one and one-half hours of flight time.

From Benina, Libya to the last IP where you turn toward Ploesti is five hours and fifty-seven minutes....yikes!

At any rate, this, along with the Tuskegee Airmen, concludes my work for now in the Late MTO. I felt obligated to finish up this project before I did anything else, and so while I was in the area, I figured I could update "Tidal Wave," so that's another off my checklist.

I have Beaus in the Sand completed except for the two missions awaiting scenery, and while I will work on any Corsica-based Tuskegee missions, I am packing up and moving back to Northwestern France, as promised.

Enjoy! :wavey:
 
"lady be good"

This was the raid that the "Lady be Good", after completing their mission and on their return, overshot their field and continued into eternal flight in the Libyean Desert. Sad story to read, had also read another book on the raid which stated that some planes actually came back with cornstalks stuck in their bombay doors. Some flew so low in the valleys that the German AA was firing DOWN on them as it was stationed on the hilltops.

Fibber,

You're 100% correct. That's why I made it so that you have to really fly the sucker. It's meant as an homage to those who actually flew it. :salute:
