S3 Series

<S> and Good day Gentlemen

Beginning thoughts are to have the UMM in B 25s of their choice, with appropriate load out of you choice to take out the supply depot either 40 or 35. Strongly request this be a NOE raid up to and at the point where you need to gain altitude in order to green up your Nordens. pre- lim observations show approximately 11 targets at the supply depot, guarded by at least two AA installations. Basing for this attack will be decided later, but it would probably be in your best interest to up at T+0 or as close to this as possible. Need to know if this is a job you can or cannot do. Support will be in the area for you, I would like to see the 35 depot destroyed first, as the enemy may not have any planes in that area. And depot 40 can be hit piecemeal with other assets on hand. Also egress could then be made North by North west to the open sea low and quick.

Night Stalkers, your first target for the day will be the marshaling yards (19) or the shipping and tank unit in the North of Sicily. Primary target has possibly 14 targets at the rail yard, secondary target will be the shipping or the tank unit in that area. You will also be going in NOE, some cover can be diverted to you if needed, but will be farther away since we want you to be the sneaky bastages that we all of come to know and love.
P-38 or your choice of A/C the sea area east of the island would be the best approach in my opinion but can be discussed later.

AE/100th will need you to strike the seaplane base (9) in the west corner, targets will be 2 or 3 parked aircraft, warehouse and auxiliary equipment about 7 targets with 2 AA emplacements 1 - north 1 southeast. Plane of your choice with weapons suitable for the task at hand.

This is for the "dedicated" buff and strike squads for now. Need to know if it is at all possible for you to destroy these targets with the expected low turn out and with minimum loss of aircraft and pilots.

That is all for now gentlemen. Please feel free to ask any questions


Swede-

For Frame 3: right now, it looks like the numbers for the Night Stalkers will be perhaps 2...at the most 3 pilots.

Guess I'm misunderstanding some thing...53/40 are depots. .35 is. Seaplane Base..
You asked AE's/100th to take out seaplane base but you labeled it (9)...9 is a city...N asked UMM's to take out 35 first run..did you get field #'s backwards N u meant UMM'S to take Out 53 first run ?

We can take out 35..easily..N some of 36 as well..given a second run probably finish off .36..N. possibly the grass field just to the N...37. Will be a tuff nut..lots of T'GTS there..

Is N actually the word "and" or the abbreviation for "North"?

N = and

Text ingredients. BTW.. did I tell you I hate my phone

Beesa, yes got numbers wrong.
UMM should probably hit the depot at 40 first around the same time as AE/100th . With numbers may not be possible to get to 53
If the AE's and 100th could hit the seaplane base at 35 and try for 36 that would be good. second run later can clean up there.
However with the NS only having max of 3 may have to rethink and switch roles. May have them hit the seaplane base and your group take the sneak raid to the marshaling yard at 19.
Do you think you can accomplish this?

Depending on success of those we can plan for second run targets.
