The 2nd Tactical Air Force was tasked with providing direct support to the British and Canadian forces during the Normandy landings and subsequent combat operations. Due to the Luftwaffe's weak resistance, multiple squadrons of Spitfires were also utilized to attack the enemy's lines of communication and targets in the rear. They completed these objectives while continuing patrols and escorting ground-attack and bomber aircraft.

You will lead a section of Spitfires from the 401st Squadron of the 126th Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Along with attacks on various ground targets, in the summer of 1944, the squadron's pilots engaged in several successful, large-scale air battles, laying the foundation for the future glory of the most effective unit of the 2nd Tactical Air Force. The campaign will culminate in missions to destroy the encircled German forces in the Falaise Pocket.

All missions are based on the combat log of the 401st Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force and, where possible, reconstruct the real ground and air situation that developed during the Battle of Normandy.
