Hold the Line: Comms Collapse with Formation Under Fire

A formation of B-24 Liberators holds tight en route to target, engines synchronized and gunners scanning the sky. Without warning, a flight of Bf 109s tears in from 10 o’clock high—fast, direct, and aggressive. The German fighters descend with discipline and force, punching into the formation's flank. Explosions tear through the air as cannon shells strike engines and control surfaces. One B-24 drops out trailing smoke, another loses altitude as its wing structure fails under fire. Gunners respond with disciplined bursts, but the formation reels from the shock. Comms erupt in overlapping calls, positions shift chaotically, and gaps open under pressure. Still, the crews fight to maintain cohesion—reforming under fire, shielding damaged elements, and staying mission-focused. The lead remains steady, wings close ranks, and the Liberators press on through the attack. It’s a formation tested, bloodied—but still airborne.
