MiG-3 BOMBER ESCORT TRAINING

Above altitudes of 16,400 feet, the MiG-3
showed its potential as it was most
maneverable at higher altitudes.  This
high altitude performance, combined with
its 50% increase in range over the MiG-1
would have made it a decent escort, at
least on shorter missions.

                    YOUR MISSION

Take off from the airfield and lead
your flight of four MiG-3s up to escort a
group of Pe-8s to their target: oil
refineries.  Once you reach the
bombers, fly a wide zig zag pattern in
front of them while you scan the sky for
enemy interceptors.

Several waves of Luftwaffe aircraft will
attempt to intercept both the Pe-8s and
your fighters.  Protect the bombers all
the way to the target and then escort
them back to Allied airspace until you
begin to run low on fuel.

Your mission will not end automatically.
You must choose to quit.  Please see your
reference guide for instruction on how to
quit, as well as information on other
controls.
