• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

MM's Cartwheel over the Pacific

Safely into Nadzab.

Flying over the Owen-Stanley Range, one can see both coasts of New Guinea. Rather impressive sight.

Nadzab was the site of a daring American and Australian parachute drop, in conjunction with a land offensive on Lae, that signaled the end of the Japanese center of power on New Guinea. Within hours, the landing field was prepared and over the next days the full infantry forces were transported and supplied by air. After taking Lae, the Allies build an important supply base at the Nadzab airfields.

Thanks. The F4U carries itself well.

Taking off for Wewak AYWK, though local (NC) thunderstorms threaten the flight.
