SOLITARY PATHFINDER

On the 15th of July 1941, Oberfeldwebel
Heller of III/ZG 26 was acting as a
pathfinder for a group of Stukas from
II/StG 2 on an antishipping strike.
During the flight, they were attacked by
14 P-40 "Kittyhawks" with only Heller to
defend them.  In the dogfight that
ensued, Heller shot down three of the
Curtiss fighters, broke up the rest, and
brought all the Stukas home safely.  For
this mission against great odds, he was
later awarded the Knight's Cross.

MISSION

You are the pathfinder for an
antishipping strike that is returning
home.  Your Bf110D is the only plane
that can save the Stukas from the fast
approaching P-40s.

NOTES

This is a day mission.
