A Wing And A Prayer: Bombing The Reich
I midten af 1942 ankom United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) til Storbritannien udstyret med B-17 Heavy Bombers, også kaldet "Flying Fortress" på grund af deres tunge defensive bevæbning.
USAAFs kommandører vedtog en strategi om at konfrontere Luftwaffe direkte, ved de til stadighed større luftangreb, som de fløj over Vesteuropa, hvor USAAF bombede den tyske krigsmaskine.

A WING and a PRAYER påtager du dig rollen som en kommandør for en eskadrille af B-17 "Flyvende fæstninger", som var stationeret i England under anden verdenskrig.
Dit mål er at styre din eskadrille og gennemføre en kampagne bestående af en række dagslysbombemissioner mod strategiske aksemål.
Dagslysbombemission over Tyskland:
”Da vi nærmede os målet, var antiluftskytset foran os utroligt og skræmmende! Vores tanker var 'God Gud! Hvordan kan noget komme levende igennem dette?
’Vi vidste alle, hvor præcis antiluftskytset var over Tyskland på grund af kanonernes radarkontrol…. Boom, Boom, Wham!
Den kraftige støj kom nedenunder os. Men Inden vi kunne bekymre os om det, knitrede radioen, målet forude, gør klar til smide bomberne”.

Daylight Bombing Mission over Germany
“As we approached the target the enormous field of flak ahead was unbelievable. And frightening! Our thoughts were ‘Good God! How can anything live through that?’ We all knew how accurate the flak was over Germany. The German gunners had intense radar control…. Boom, Boom, Wham! The heavy crashing noise came from below us. Before we could worry about it, the radio crackled, target ahead, prepare for bombing run”.
