    FTC - Channel Front: 1942 Campaign

    Starting on the 16th of April, we will be starting our Channel Front: 1942 Campaign!

    The Channel Front: 1942 Campaign will focus on RAF cross-Channel efforts waged against the Luftwaffe forces based in France. With the start of war against the Soviet Union most Luftwaffe units left France to fight on the Eastern Front leaving battle-hardened JG2 and JG26 to hold out against the British. Driven by political and military rationale senior RAF command decided to continue the "leaning forward" campaign in France despite questionable success and mounting pilot losses in 1941. The Luftwaffe in turn institutionalized the fighter-bomber efforts after on and off trials in 1940 and 1941 by establishing dedicated JABO Staffeln within both France-based Jagdgeschwaders. This enabled the Germans to launch a series of nuisance raids across Southern England coast starting March 1942 to great irritation of the RAF. Both sides in parallel were awaiting what impact the Americans will have on the air war in Europe as the first aircrews of the USAAF's Eighth Air Force started arriving in Britain in May 1942. Our campaign will start with the resumption of circus sorties by RAF and Luftwaffe JABO attacks against Southern England as weather improved in spring 1942 and continue up until Operation Jubilee in August 1942 covering the final major chapter of daylight RAF / Luftwaffe strife in Western Europe before large scale involvement of USAAF heavy bombers.
