NOTE: There will soon be an update for DBW1.7, if you use the current version with DBW1.7 the player aircraft will explode at the start of Mission #1. All other missions should work fine.

Fly 36 Missions with 54 Squadron during Dunkirk and the Battle

This Campaign covers all of the air combats of 54 squadron in 1940. 54 was equipped with the Spitfire Mk. I and was heavily involved in the Dunkirk evacuation in May 1940 and the first two stages of the Battle of Britain during July and August 1940.

The missions will ‘Complete’ right after take off so your only goal is to survive and shoot down as many German airplanes as you can.

How many ‘lives’ will it take you to complete the campaign?

During this campaign you will:
Participate in the first dogfight between the Spitfire and the Bf109.
Patrol the besieged beaches at Dunkirk.
Take on Adolf Galland and JG 26.
Fly with the indestructible New Zealand aces Al Deere and Colin Grey.
Defend British shipping convoys during the “Kanalkampf” battles over the Channel.
Fly against the German onslaught on the airfields of the RAF during August 1940.

This is a historic campaign and I did a lot of research. My primary sources were: The Operational Record Book of 54 Squadron, August 1940 and the book “Nine Lives” by Al Deere. There were many other sources as well.

To get this campaign flying you will need: You need Ulrapack 2.0 found here: http://ultrapack.il2war.com/
