The text below describes the missions contained in this file. I would suggest 
that you watch each mission VCR "tape" through first before you attempt to 
fly them. This way you can see how I managed to survive or not survive each 
one and can avoid mistakes. I tried to make each tape visually interesting so 
they won't be a big bore. I hope you like them. If you have a Prodigy 
account, drop me a note privately to my mailbox or publically on the PC CLUB 
bulletin board in the OTHER GAMES subject and let me know what you think of 
my little "gems". Be sure to watch for my other files for LucasFilms' 
"Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe" on a local BBS near you in zipped files
named: SWOTL#1.ZIP, SWOTL#2.ZIP, SWOTL#3.ZIP as of 01/01/92. You can find
these files and some others along with this group of Red Baron missions on
the DUNE BBS, Portage, IN, 219-762-5620.

1. A1820PTS.VCR - This is a balloon busting mission at the front. You are 
                  to destroy the three observation balloons put up by the 
                  German Army. These balloons are defended by three German
                  aces: Goering, Lowenhardt, and Lothar von Richthofen.

 2. Alone.VCR   - This is a fighter vs. fighter mission and one of pure
                  survival. As the mission starts you are quite alone in
                  your Fokker D.VII on and have been patrolling the front
                  for enemy activity. Unfortunately, two enemy fighters 
                  have slipped into position at your 7 o'clock position.
                  Just as you decide to engage these two fighters 4 more
                  enemy fighters appear ahead! 
                  
                  None of the enemy are aces in this mission, it's tough 
                  enough without them! The enemy combat mix consists of
                  a Sopwith Snipe, Spad XIII, Sopwith Triplane, SE-5a,
                  and 2 Sopwith Camels. The two planes that start on your
                  your wing are actually converted German wingmen. They
                  won't fire on you until the other 4 enemy fighters begin
                  to engage you or until you press the 'A' for 'Attack' 
                  key anytime before that. Once either one of these two
                  conditions is met, they become just as deadly to you 
                  as the real enemy pilots. I haven't figured out how to
                  make them count as enemy planes on the Mission Review
                  screen as yet so they will show up as Aircraft Lost.

3. Flycircs.VCR - As an experienced pilot you have chosen to ignore the
                  standing orders against solo combat missions over the
                  enemy held areas. You have taken your SE-5a on a 
                  personal tour of the German occupied landscape and are
                  hoping to perhaps add a German reconnaisance plane or
                  an unwary fighter to your growing score.

                  As the tape starts you have just caught a glimpse of
                  something down below you. As you look closer you see it
                  is a small group of 4 blood red Fokker Dr.I triplanes.
                  It is no less than the Baron Manfred von Richthofen and
                  three of his henchmen from his colorful "flying circus"
                  of aces.

4. Deuce.VCR    - You are flying a solo intercept mission to catch a pair
                  of Handley Page 0/400 bombers and their escorts. The
                  bombers are being escorted by two top American aces
                  Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker and Frank Luke.

5. Bombduel.VCR - You are leading your squadron of Albatross D.III fighters
                  on a patrol when you suddenly notice four Handley Page
                  0/400 bombers above you. As you begin to maneuver and
                  alert your wingmen, you notice something strange about
                  them. Instead of flying straight and level they are
                  diving! Diving at you! 

6. Acerecon.VCR - The Allies have tired of losing their valuable recon 
                  aircraft to your attacks. Escorts have helped, but not 
                  always. So unknown to you the Allied command has cooked up
                  a little surprise for the next German patrol, which just
                  happens to be your patrol!
