Chapter One – The Plan

BOOM!

The ground shook as three more houses were destroyed by devastating bombs as they exploded, causing chaos. London was in peril. Heavily loaded German Heinkel He-111’s were dropping vast amounts of highly charged bombs over the great city, seeming invincible to the attacks of the English Super marine Mk IV Spitfires and anti-bomber Mosquitoes.

The Spitfire was a single-seat fighter with an elliptical wing shape which was obviously its most recognisable feature. It was most recognised by the German fighter pilots because it had an incredible turning ability, mainly because of its wing shape. It was powered by a single nose-prop.

The Mosquitoes were a land based fighter-bomber with four nose mounted machine guns, two under wing mounted rocket launches and 454kg of bombs. The Mosquito had two props on each wing to provide the power.

There was no hope of destroying these Heinkel He-111. Even the AA (anti-aircraft) cannons were no good against this German attack. But suddenly, to the surprise of the whole RAF the bombers were leaving. What were the Germans doing? All over London the people could see all of the Heinkel He-111 turning around like hundreds of eagles swooping around in great arcs across the sky. Huge amounts of people came rushing out of the Tube and watched the planes leave the city.

Much rejoicing was had and the English military immediately started to plan a way to stop Germany’s planes from attacking England ever again. The military soon had a plan devised. They showed it to the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and he agreed that the operation would go ahead after they had enough planes, weapons and ammunition. It was called Operation Super Stage.

Chapter 2 – Finding The Force

It took months to construct enough Supermarine Spitfires, De Havilland Mosquitoes and Arvo Lancasters. Not to mention the millions of 303 rounds for the Spitfire. The Mosquito needed 20mm Canon rounds. And as for the Lancaster’s they needed the same as the Spitfires, 303 rounds. This operation was elongated by the fact that ammunition also had to be made for the Destroyers that would be escorting the fleet of bombers that were already being guarded by a fleet of elite pilots.

Three months later the Germans had made no attempt at attacking Britain. The English Air Force, Navy and Army all agreed that the time had come to set off.

 It took a few hours to get to the coast of the Netherlands. When aboard HMS (Her Majesty’s Service) Leeds, there was a sudden PING! PING! The crew looked at the radar; German U-Boats! U-Boats were German Submarines packed with torpedoes. One fleet that usually consisted of about five could sink a fleet of Destroyers (normally about twelve). There was only one problem with the German defensive attack, the U-Boats had to surface to fire. U-Boats weren’t shaped like U’s. Instead they were shaped like a stretched tear drop.
