"CROSSFIRE" by Robert Bailey
World War I aerial warfare saw the beginning of tactical applications being used both offensively and
defensively. The names of these combat tactics became legendary because of their effectiveness.
Maneuvers such as the Luftberry and Immelmann are still taught in today's modern air forces.
By WWII, tactical air combat had reached a deadlier plateau, all designed to maximize the effectiveness
of destroying the enemy threat. For Germany, that meant bringing down the four engine bombers,
comprising mostly B-17 Fortresses an B-24 Liberators used by the allies in their daylight precision
strategy. This strategy was crippling Germany's war making capability and devastating its industrial
heartland.
So in the fall and winter of 1943, the Luftwaffe, ordered by Hermann Goering, began a new and
desperate tactic involving the interception and penetration of these bombing raids. The Rammjager
employed specially trained Staffels, using modified Focke Wulf 190 fighters, fitted with larger cannons
for increased firepower and substantial armor plating around the cockpits.
Attacks by these units would be started from the rear of the bomber formations. The German fighters
would then slice through the Allied aircraft, attempting to bring down at least one aircraft. The
Rammjager pilots were specifically tasked to ram one of the bombers if their guns proved ineffective.
In Robert Bailey's new combat canvas, a Rammjager unit begins the attack on such a bomber
formation over S.E. Germany during late 1944. Caught off guard while focusing on their targets, they
were jumped by P-51 Mustangs of the Tuskegee Airmen. Caught in a crossfire scenario. The German
pilots have lost the element of surprise. The airways are filled with chatter and lightning reflexes are
employed in the dance of death high over Germany. Lives and mission outcome hang in the balance.

Pilot Signatures:
Untereroffizier Gerhard Kott joined the Luftwaffe in December 1941. He finished his
fighter pilot training in April of 1943. His first mission was with 10. Sturm JG (Udet)
with the Me 109 type. On his second mission he shot down a B-17. Within seconds of
destroying the bomber he was attacked by P-51 aircraft and had to bale out. During
May and June of 1944 he flew with 4/JG-3, which was equipped with the Fw 190
'Strum'.
This aircraft had special protective shielding. His next posting was to 3/JG-4
Sturmgruppe. During the succeeding missions he shot down four B-17's and one
B-24. In October he received the Iron Cross 1st class. From November 1944 until April
1945 he instructed at a fighter pilot school. After April he was again in action, this
time against Soviet forces on the Eastern Front. At this time he shot down three other
planes, a P-2 and two Jak 9's, for a total of 8 victories. This is the first time Kott has
signed an aviation print.
1st Lieutenant William H Holloman III was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He flew
P-51's with the 99th F.S. 332nd F.G. during early 1945. After World War II he flew
P-47 Thunderbolts with the 301st F.S. and during the Korean War was a MATS pilot.
On one mission he was flying the wounded back to the States from the Far East and
Korea. He was also the first black helicopter pilot in the air Force. Bill Holloman later
flew with Pacific Western Airlines in Canada. He was recalled to active duty in 1966,
serving in Vietnam and later in Europe. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.
Additional Pilot Signature on Luftwaffe Edition
Felwebel Oscar Boesch joined the Luftwaffe in August of 1942 and volunteered for
Sturm Staffel 1, a special unit which attacked American bombers. During his first
mission in April of 1944 he crash landed and flipped his Fw 190 onto its back. He was
shot down in May, but went on to reach a score of 18 victories, earning him the Iron
Cross 1st and 2nd class. He was wounded several times in his 12 months as an
operational pilot, and lost 8 Fw 190's. After completing 120 sorties, his aircraft
collided with a Yak-9 over Berlin during the last days of the war. He was captured by
the Russians but escaped and walked 1,000 Kilometers back to his native home in
Austria.
