Setback's skin, of the desert Bf 108 KG-EM from the 'Sonderkommando Blaich' raid. This skin depicts the Bf 108 which was one of 2 aircraft that took part in the 'Sonderkommando Blaich' raid on Free French forces in the North African base Fort Lamy in Jnauary 1942. 'To the crew's surprise, no air defence was organised at Fort Lamy and they were able to drop their 16 bombs, 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) of explosives, unhindered. The French forces were too surprised to organise any air defence and 80,000 gallons of fuel and the complete oil supply were destroyed and, possibly, as many as ten aircraft. Theo Blaich, a German adventurer and plantation owner who had joined the Wehrmacht in 1939, arriving in his own Messerscmitt Bf 108 Taifun - recognised the importance of Fort Lamy as a way point in the overland transport and communication route from the west coast of Africa to the Nile, as well as an assembly point for Allied operations. Blaich proposed the capture of Fort Lamy to safeguard the southern border of Libya. When his suggestions weren't taken seriously in Berlin, he proposed that he should at least carry out a bombing mission. Blaich found a more interested audience in Erwin Rommel, who approved the idea and forwarded it to the Fliegerführer Afrika. The date for the operation was set as 21 January 1942, to coincide with Rommel's offensive against the British defences at El Agheila. The raid against a target located 1,250 mi (2,010 km) from the German bases in North Africa was a success. On its return flight, the German plane ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing; both crew and plane were rescued a week later.'

The skins are made partly using The default CoD template found at Airwarfare.com and the personalized skin template from the French forum and found at htpp//:www.cliffsofdover.fr You are welcome to use them, but Please credit me if you add emblems etc to my skins, they took many hours to make.(I ask that you don't make minor alterations to the skins and then claim them as your own work). These skins may not be used as a part of any add-on, PC game or console game without prior agreement with myself. MS major-setback/restranger
