50 Mission Crush

_50 Mission Crush_ is a simulation game that puts you into the cockpit of a
B-17 Flying Fortress bomber during WWII.

You are part of the 8th Air Force 306th Bomber Group and you must try to
survive 50 missions (in real life the average lifespan of a crew member was
18.33 missions) in your B-17 (named the Impatient Virgin) over France and
Germany. As pilot you will have full control of your bomber and 10 crew
members, each of which plays a different role in your mission.

After each mission providing you have survived you will be evaluated and
awarded points based on mission difficulty, bombing accuracy and aircraft
destroyed. The more points you receive the closer you get to being promoted.
You start off as a Lieutenant and can make it all the way to Brigadier
general. Also depending on how many points you earn in a mission you can
receive a medal or if you are wounded a Purple Heart. Each mission lasts
approximately 10 minutes.

The ’50 Mission Crush’ was the name given to the crushed service cap of the
battle hardened veterans who flew the B-17 during WWII. It was a mark of
distinction and honor.
