633 Squadron: Squadron 633 was chosen for a special mission, crucial to the success of D-Day. From the beginning of their special training, each man knew it was an almost impossible task. Their target is a Norwegian fjord, where the Germans are developing a top-secret weapon. The pilots know they'll be flying in low, between the steep mountain walls, without fighter support. For many, the trip will be one-way only... Operation Rhine Maiden: After a near-suicide mission to the Swartfjord, which claimed many lives, morale among the survivors of 633 Squadron was at its lowest ebb. Unbearable tension and problems with replacement recruits were tearing the squadron apart. The new Commander, the young, brilliant and aggressive Ian Moore, knew that the only thing that would pull it together was the challenge of another dangerous mission. The Germans were developing Rhine Maiden - a new antiaircraft rocket which posed a deadly threat to the Allies’ invasion plans. The top brass decided that 633 Squadron should first bomb the rocket factory and then make a daring strike in broad daylight on an underground target, buried deep in a Bavarian valley. Operation Crucible: Autumn 1943: An angry American press has blamed the RAF for heavy U.S. B-17 losses over Europe. To restore confidence, joint Allied operations are planned by RAF and 8th Air Force top brass. 633 Squadron, whose Rhine Maiden mission success has won them a glorious reputation, is called in to launch Operation Crucible. It is to be a Dieppe-style landing by the Americans, supported by the aces of 633 Squadron. Their role: to give ground support to troops against overwhelming firepower and totally unforeseen odds.
