One of my favorite episodes from the HC "Dogfights" franchise is the "Death of the Luftwaffe", highlighting the fallacy of Operation Bodenplatte and the stout defense put up by the outnumbered Bodney Blue-nosers of the 487th Fighter Squadron when Goering's boys came knocking at their airfield (Y-29) in Asch, Belgium.
Back in 2002 The FDG Team started a mini project as a tribute to the 487th. They did 5 skins for the the virtual FDG P51D - the hottest P51D model we had at the time - but i don't know if they ever built an actual mission to complete the project. Even though it would be quite dated by today's standards, has anyone seen that mission by chance?
