   Like i see, the next patch will bring the Battle of the Bulge, and these day's i I was inspired by the Dogfight's (I saw a chapter of the Dogfights Series on the same day  ;D ). So I ran to the better WW2 mod that i know, but i didn't finded a already Massive Dogfight map on the mod, so i decided to Suggest Here.

  The history of this Operation :

  Operation Bodenplatte, launched on 1 January 1945, was an final attempt by the Luftwaffe to cripple the air power of the Allied Air Forces.
   The goal of Bodenplatte was to gain air superiority during the stagnant stage of the Battle of the Bulge, to allow the German Army and Waffen-SS forces to resume their advance. The operation was planned for 16 December 1944, but it was delayed repeatedly owing to bad weather until New Years Day, the first day that happened to be suitable.
   Secrecy for the operation was so tight that not all German ground and sea forces had been informed of the operation, and some units suffered casualties from friendly fire.
   The operation achieved some surprise and tactical success but was ultimately a failure. A great many Allied aircraft were destroyed on the ground, but the losses of the Allied Air Forces were replaced within a week. The Allies lost few airmen, since their aircraft were destroyed on the ground without pilots. Conversely, the Germans lost fighter pilots they could not replace.

   Aftermath and casualties :
  
   On the eight days of operations, between 17 and 27 December 1944, 644 fighters were lost and 227 damaged. This resulted in 322 pilots killed, 23 captured and 133 wounded. On other three days of operations, 23-25 December, 363 fighters were destroyed.

  

   The idea for the map :

   It would not be possible to represent one of the airfields attacked (Choose between the USAAF or the RAF forçes)(Here a list of the atacked airfields : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unternehmen_Bodenplatte#Targets_and_order_of_battle ), and make a little, tiny field on the border of the map for the germans planes raise. (Like in Crete Map)
   And like this will be a Dogfight map the surroundings of the airfield can be locked with that "No trespass Zone for infantry",but the planes can fly over that areas. (Well i don't manage with the BF2 Map Editor(I tried :-\), but in some map with airplane i realize that some "No trespassing Zone" can be passed only with planes)
  The solution for non-fly-boys is just put planes for everybody. (64 players map, so 64 planes or i'm wrong with something  ??? )
