    Default WGF IF01 - The Falcon Falls (WGF historical scenario for 3 players)

    Northern Italy, 31 July 1918: At 0825hrs Oberleutnant Frank Linke-Crawford the commanding officer of Fliegerkompanie 60J (Flik 60J) took off from Feltre airfield in his Aviatik D.1 serial 115.32 with three other pilots. An experienced Jagdflieger with 27 victories to his credit, Linke-Crawford was known as der Falke von Feltre (the Falcon of Feltre). After encountering a formation of Sopwith Camels of 45 Squadron RAF Obltn. Linke-Crawford was separated from his flight. He was then attacked by two Italian Hanriot HD.1 scouts flown by Sergente Pilota Ciampatti and Caporale Pilota Aldo Astolfi of 81a Squadriglia de Caccia.

    This WGF historical scenario pits one Series 6 Aviatik D.I of Austro-Hungarian ace Frank Linke-Crawford against two Series 6 Italian Hanriot HD.1s.

    I made this one for Andrzej (Nightbomber) due to his love of the Eastern and Italian Fronts and the fact that Linke-Crawford was born in Krakow.

    There will be more scenarios featuring Linke-Crawford, photographed here standing in front of his Albatros D.III.

    Thanks for posting these, Carl.
    Will give me something to try in between Bitter Ends ( and will get some of my aircraft out of the shrinkwrap)

    My pleasure Pete. One of my aims in writing up these missions is to give players a reason to use aircraft that may not get much table time.

    I am looking forward to playing these as well. I have been too busy researching and writing them up to get planes on the table.
