Most important mission
1) the September 28th the pilot's [classified] and [classified] started their engines in a secret base in the north they target was an enemy commander that was flying to the battle field in a plane, they ascended to an altitude of 25 km to avoid getting detected until the last moment at the 3.55 pm the first pilot dive over is objective followed by the second pilot, due to an unknown design flaw of the enemy radar the two diving planes were undetected, until a few seconds after the 40mm ripped apart the commander plane both pilots scaped in a hight speed low flight before pulling up to an altitude were the enemy couldn't reach them
2) the May 1st lieutenant Adolf Striceer take off from the aircraft carrier USS Eagle but his plane don't have the missiles on it, in their place where two bombs special design for this type mission.
His objective were a highly defended bunker in a mountain where normal bombers couldn't reach for it dude to the huge anti aircraft fire they received, the missions went well the bombs hit and destroy the target, slipping away he got hit in a wing forcing him to crash land in an open field luckily allies had captured the place a week ago so he came home safely, he died two days later in a sudden explosion while testing a clissified plane
