P-47D-23 THUNDERBOLT - CFS3
V2.82.100
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
P-47D-23 THUNDERBOLT
This aircraft was built by Gregory SARGE Pierson & Jerry SPARKS Beckwith using version 2.82.100 of the AvHistory 1% Assembly Line process. It is based on the stock MS P-47.
Dan Swart did the custom "Kansas Tornado II" livery flown by Capt Howard J Curran of the 405th Fighter Groups 510th Fighter Squadron .
On D-Day, The 405FGth protected the right flank of the invading force. As soon as enough ground had been secured, following the Normandy invasion, airbases were built on the continent. On July 12, 1944, Bob Delashaw moved the three squadrons across the Channel to Picauville, near St. Mere Eglise on the Cherbourg Peninsula.
As General Patton’s Third Army moved east across France, advanced bases were prepared. The 405th set up operations at St. Dizier, about 120 miles east of Paris.
The 405th was transferred to the XIX Tactical Air Command on October 19th, 1944, but continued flying close support for General Patton's Third Army.
The unit moved in February, 1945 to Belgium near the town of Zwartburg near- Liege. Now assigned to XXIX TAC, the unit flew support to the IX Army for the crossing on the Rhine River into Germany.
On May 1, 1945 the three squadron’s occupied their last combat base at Kitzengen, Germany (R-6). Shortly thereafter, on May 8, all three 405th squadrons participated in a victory flyover.
One of the finest fighter squadrons of WWII had completed its mission. The 510th squadron had done its job with honor and compiled one of the European Theatre’s most impressive records.
Aircraft In Air 39 , Aircraft On Ground 68, Locomotives 445, Freight Cars 1637, Tanks 119, Motor Transports 2418, Staff Cars 198, Bridges 12, Gun Emplacements 264, Buildings & Factories 449, Radar Stations 6, Horses - Cows - Livestock 2709.
The horses might get a so what but its important to remember that despite the allusion of mechanization cause by the blitzkrieg over half of the German army's logistics and towed artillery were based on horse draw equipment.
