INTERCEPT HEAVIES TOGETHER WITH GO 229S

Mission number of Me 163 tour: 8 (last)

When the Go 229 was put into production
by order of Reichsmarschall Hermann Goe-
ring, it was actually planned to equip
one Staffel of JG 400 with them for
evaluation and combat-testing. However,
as the first airframes became near com-
pletion the war was over.
If JG 400 had been able to get some ex-
emplars of this remarkable aircraft, the
"Flying Wing" might have seen action.
Without a doubt, JG 400 would have been
the "Top Gun" squadron of the war,
equipped with the most modern super-planes
of its day.

YOUR MISSION

As another US bombing raid neared Berlin,
JG 400 sent its Me 163s and the new
Go 229s up to intercept it. You and your
wingman in a Komet are to attack several
formations of B-17s. Your plane is armed
with SG 500 rockets to down the bombers
more quickly.
Because of more and more attacks from
jets occured over the Berlin area, the
crews of the bombers are especially aware
that they might meet some of the latest
"Secret Weapons".
One of the Flying Wings will try to
handle the escorting P-47s, but watch
out for them, too.
