During the mission-planning phase, make sure to plot the 
waypoints for your ingress and egress routes around enemy 
antiaircraft concentrations. Although it may take longer 
for the bomber fleet to reach its objective(s), the 
formation won't have to fly through as much flak, which 
will hopefully cut losses and make your bombing run that 
much more effective. 

Don't forget that in addition to the bombers, you can take 
over the controls of your fighter escorts at any time during 
play. Consider hopping in the fighter escorts during the 
early phases of the mission to keep the enemy fighter 
opposition at bay as long as possible. You can always switch 
back to the bombers whenever the enemy fighters are within 
attack range of the bomb group. 

If you're playing the bomber campaign, don't bother going 
after distant targets such as Berlin until the spring of 
1944, when long-range P51D Mustangs are available to escort 
the bomb group to and from the target.
