High mountain flying & landings

FRANCE/VERCORS A Free French Republic

The Vercor mountains are not high but very beautiful. August 1944 - the french Resistance had liberated the massif but the Germans have largely retaken it. But now American armies advance from the south.

Take your US light plane (Savage with free-camo ) with a Colonel on an advanced recon/liasion mission: talk to local Maquis commanders on hidden airstrips under Free French control and assess the general situation.

Start the day @ Salette, land on extreme Mt. Aiguille to check if we can land gliders there. Are the Col du Rousset, the famous Combe Laval road , Les Granges crossing and the Gorge du Nan free of road blocks? Fly north along the western cliff, circumventing Grenoble widely, into the Chartreuse massif - finally, @ Lac de Bourget turn left, back towards the Rhone and friendly troops.
