Summary

Already having earned a reputation in the Middle East, the Boston 3 medium bombers are now operating over France and Germany. The bombers have a bomb-load twice that of Blenheims and can travel at greater speed. An American-built plane, it is almost like a fighter in speed and manoeuvrability. It carries a crew of three.
