Soon after the arrival of General Irwin Rommel in February of 1941, the atmosphere of Northern Africa heats up higher than the coming spring desert temperatures. Within several weeks of Rommel's new assignment in Northern Africa , The Afrika Korps is knocking at the walls of Tobruk and relying on the Luftwaffe for support. The Port of Tobruk is a target rich location not only for the reduction of the city, but to hit the sea supply lines to and from Malta . The air weapons of the Blitzkrieg including the BF109E, JU87 "Stuka" and JU88 are assigned as combined arms against Tobruk.

RAF 247 Squadron is no newcomer to combat in Africa after being one of the first groups to be fitted with all Hurricanes. The squadron has done well for itself up to now and is counted on to help defend against Rommel's big push.
