It's December 26th, 1950. A mere two months ago the United Nations forces were on the Chinese border in the north west and were pinning down the last remnants of the Korean People's Army (KPA) in the north east. That all changed when the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA) flooded across the Yalu River into North Korea. The PVA is pushing the UN forces back below the 38th parallel, but their supply lines are becoming extended. Mig-15 fighters are operating from bases in Manchuria and tipping the balance of the air war. The UN forces are holding a line north of Seoul. Destruction of the Yalu River bridges is essential or the UN forces may be pushed all the way back to Pusan in the extreme south. B-29 bombers based in Japan are tasked to take out the bridges.

Christmas Over Korea is a two frame series featuring F-86 Sabre and Mig-15 Fagot jet combat. Each side will get a turn escorting B-29 bombers to try to destroy the two span bridge over the Yalu River at Dandong (Port 46).

Planning Map Frame 1 - Korea terrain. A number of airfields will not be available this series. They will be set neutral, closed and hidden on the tower and inflight map views. Pilots are cautioned not to land at these locations as it will count as a ditch with the aircraft lost.
The Mig-15 is only available from airfields in China. Pilots landing at airfields where the Mig-15 is not available will be required to fly the Yak-9.
The F-86 is only available at Kimpo Airfield (F171). Pilots landing at Musan airfield (Field 136) will be required to fly the P-51D.
B-29 bombers will have a 25K airstart at Osan (F179) simulating bombers flying from Japan. Bombers must land at Osan (F179) or they will be considered lost.

Use of the modified inflight map is strongly recommended.
The file can be found at the link below and saved to your warbirds root directory:

Prior to flight, in the tower map view ICONS should be selected ON and FIELD NAMES selected OFF.
