B-26G MARAUDER - CFS3
V2.82.98
AvHistory 1% Aircraft General Statement and Installation Instructions
It is the intention of the AvHistory 1% project to over time build the most accurate aircraft that the CFS3 software can support. The development of a 1% aircraft requires specific and in many cases dramatic changes to the aircraft delivered with the MS game as well as the addition of aircraft built from the ground up by third parties which were never included in the original MS game. We believe that because the AvHistory 1% aircraft are materially different they should not be mixed with "box stock" aircraft in online combat.
All the planes 1% listed for download are qualified for use in our AvHistory William Tell Meet Air Combat Ladder. For information and to get the sign up sheet for the ladder please go to the LINKS section at http://www.avhistory.org
B-26G MARAUDER
This aircraft was built by Gregory SARGE Pierson & Jerry SPARKS Beckwith using version 2.82.98 of the AvHistory 1% Assembly Line process. It is based on the stock MS B-26G.
The new historically correct paint by TURKEY VULTURE represents aircraft number 43-34341 squadron code KX-Z "SCREAMING EAGLE" from the 558th squadron of the 387th Bomb Group "TIGER TAILS". This B-26G was flown by Col. Clyde Hawkins.
It has been reported that this plane/crew was responsible for knocking out the Mayen RR Bridge during the Battle of the Bulge on December 23, 1944. Both pilots were awarded the silver star. It was Clyde Hawkins's 22nd B-day. The group was attacked by enemy fighters forcing most of the bombers to break off the attack. The bridge was partially destroyed delaying German reinforcements and traffic at an important river crossing.
The plane is painted as per ETO dictum requiring a top-coat of camouflage med green for tactical aircraft based in France during late-1944.
The 387th BG was based at Saint Quentin, France during November, 1944. They had been based at Cherbourg since the end of August, 1944.
We would like to thank Turkey Vulture for his outstanding research on this plane.
