BenQuinn has just uploaded The Hardest Day! (http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/Downloads.php?do=download&downloadid=26)!
Relive the events of the 18th August 1940, known as "The Hardest Day!"
I have posted a Single Player Mission to the "Downloads" section, top Left.
18/08/1940, the Hardest Day.
Horst "Jakob" Tietzen, Staffelkapitän of 5./JG 51 was vectored to protect some Dornier 17Z-1's returning from a raid on British airfields.
On the 18th August he became the fourth German fighter pilot to record 20 victories.
However, on the same day he was shot down in aerial combat with Royal Air Force Hurricane fighters over the Thames Estuary. His body later washed ashore at Calais in France.
He was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross on 20 August 1940 and was also promoted to Hauptmann.
This mission recreates those events.
Good luck!
