First the PNG.

So far 30 missions with maybe 1 or 2 more to go.This is part 1 which covers Aubust 1942 to September 7,1942.

Planes that you will be flying are-B-17,B-25,B-26,A-20,P-40 and P-39. These will be bombing missions mainly with few fighter intercepts. I most bomber missions you will be flying with no fighter escort. Nissions will also cover Milne Bay where you will have to fly in horrible weather. But it's fun.

The Aleutians

I have the attack on Dutch Harbor finished and you will be flying- Kate,Val or Zero.

The USA side you will be flying-P-40,B-17,B-25,B-26,B-24,PBY or P-39. There will also be some very horrible weather to fly in

Some pics from PNG.The last 2 pics are B-26's not B-25's

:salute: ......eagarly awaited - with Talon's eye for detail and historical accuracy, I particularly look forward to the challenge of the Aleutians, where the weather & terrain is as much your enemy as the Japanese .......:jump:

You mean I have to put weather in also?:icon_lol:

I have a feeling people may have a problem flying these missions. The first attack mission will be on Kiska with B-24's and there will be lots of overcast. They did low level bombing. Also that day and for 48 hours PBY's attacked Kiska. Could be very interesting.

Thanks to Sopwith I have my own private Aleutian Air Force.

30+ missions for PNG and he still has the energy and enthusiasm to create an Aleutians Campaign - Talon you probably could do with one of these :icon29:, thank you.

Have you ever seen Report From The Aleutians? There is a really great section in there with a mixed mission on Kiska with B-17s, B-24s and P-39s.
