About This Content

This campaign is inspired by the exploits of the 365th Fighter Group (388th Fighter Squadron) over Europe in the Autumn/Winter of 1944-45.

History books called them the "Hell Hawks", the USAAF called them as the 365th Fighter Group, the Germans called them a terror. The 365th was instrumental in supporting American ground forces that opposed the German Ardennes Offensive which would become known as the “Battle of the Bulge” in late 1944-45. Flying the P-47D, or "Jug" as it was affectionately known to its pilots, the player will join the 365th FG / 388th FS and take part in supporting General Hodges’ First Army. Air operations from the Battle of Aachen, through the Battle of the Bulge, and the German air attack on New Year’s Day 1945 and beyond are represented.

You’ll fly close air support, armed recon, supply interdiction and air to air missions and all events are taken from, or inspired by the actual events from the 365th Fighter Group history. This campaign features realistic 9th Air Force operations, as well as custom radio calls.
