Good Evening!
I finally finished work on my latest campaign project:

39 missions telling the story of the JAAF´s 248th Fighter Sentai in New Guinea in 1943/44. They flew the Nakajima Ki-43, first from Wewak, mostly escorting bombers as the Japanese tried to regain the initiative after the Americans had destroyed most of their airplanes in a series of devastating raids against Wewak. Later they were pushed into the defensive again, trying to defend Wewak and Hollandia against a new wave of Allied attacks, which in the end drove the Japanese out of New Guinea. The Sentai was disbanded after the fall of Hollandia in April 1944.
