<Title>ETO Dieppe Polish 303 sq. P/O Socha HH 611
Yea they fought very well, indeed.

<Overview>During the Battle of Dieppe on 19th August 1942, Operating from Redhill, as a part of the Northolt Wing, 12 Spitfires VB took off for the first patrol. Lead by S/Ldr Zumbach, Poles arrived over Dieppe at 10:11, and were met by intense flak. Down at the cost, mostly Canadian troops were already in a fierce battle. At the height of 8000 feet the unit was jumped by a number of German FW190s. In the ensuing scuffle some Poles engaged enemy fighters while others went after dive bombing Ju88s and Do 217s. After some 30 minute combat in good visibility and at 5000 feet, the squadron was withdrawn from the area. Suffering no losses, the 303 pilots claimed 3 FW190, 2 Ju88 destroyed and 4 FW190s probable P.O. Socha 1 FW190 and 1 Ju88 destroyed.

Love the shaders effects now developed for for this. the last picture under the Do217 really shows this off well.
Thanks to the Masters for this.

It is good to see

HH - thanks for using the 217's and 88's. I have not seen these used much and it is gratifying to see them in action.

Master Nachtpiloten, it is my pleasure..Very Grateful for your works .
And now into doing historical stuff, ..

Expect to see more shown as I finish this for the ETO team.

ANY thing you want done let me know please, I WILL do it..

 

[Daiwilletti]

HH,

And where can I download that 109D???

hi Cees,

IIRC the 109D is a Spanish Civil War version in ETO. I don't know if there are any Phoney War skins for it?

D

 

[Daiwilletti]

WOW!! I never realized how very effective the P-36 Hawk (Hawk 75 / Mohawk) was during the Battle of France.

Hi Owen,
I enjoy flying this type of early fighter so much I wrote a 1940 campaign where the allied fighter was the P-36. Axis planes include the HS 123.

I don't know how realistic the flight model is, but the P-36 is rarely bested in a dogfight, especially when I modify it to run AvH French 12.5mm MGs instead of puny 30 cals......

Now that there is a DXXIII and a Buffalo there are more aircraft "d'un certain age" that could be thrown into the mix

HouseHobbit has let me know that it's a 109e in his post. My mistake. I thought I saw the exhausts of a jumo engine!

War in all it's fury and madness. How can this be possible that in 2014, things have not changed?


May 4/5th 1943.
596 aircraft - 255 Lancasters, 141 Halifaxes, 110 Wellingtons, 80 Stirlings, 10 Mosquitos - on the largest 'non-1,000' raid of the war to date and the first major attack on Dortmund.

31 aircraft - 12 Halifaxes, 7 Stirlings, 6 Lancasters, 6 Wellingtons - lost, 5.2 per cent of the force. A further 7 aircraft crashed in bad weather at the bomber bases. The initial Pathfinder marking was accurate but some of the backing-up marking fell short. A decoy fire site also attracted many bombs. But half of the large force did bomb within 3 miles of the aiming point and severe damage was caused in central and northern parts of Dortmund.

 

[HouseHobbit]

Bravo, Master Led, I likes the night missions..Really challenging..
Thanks..

RAF 107 Squadron in action..
Truly grateful for the shade/shine effects developed by the Masters for this.


<Title>ETO Dieppe 107 Sq.Boston A20 Ground attack HH 611

<Overview>Your Squadron is to attack the German ground units and prevent them from opposing an invasion by over 5,000 Allied troops, mostly Canadians, who raid Dieppe, France. RAF 107 Squadron, flying Blenheims, then Bostons and, finally Mosquitos, subsequently took part in scores of raids, including raid on Dieppe on 19th August 1942 (its task on this occasion was to bomb hostile shore batteries and thus reduce enemy opposition to the landing force)

 

[HouseHobbit]

Wow! the French are fighting like Hobbits in Mordor!
