Hmm USS Langley CV-1 as converted to AV-3 seaplane tender - sunk by Betty bombers off Java while transporting P-40s?
Stuart,
My guess HNLMS Soerabaja
If you're running out of ideas for large vessels, how about a multi-LOD USS Saratoga we could paint camo onto?
No
We have a USS Langley somewhere. I must check to see if it is as AV-3
Right theatre.
Cheers
Stuart
Yes there is an AV-3 version modelled by Bruce alongside the original CV-1, with P40 cargo modelled on the deck.
IIRC Maxstuka was trying to alpha out the P40s, I have a zip of some platform data I worked on for him at the time...
... could always do with an upgrade though
and you are absolutely right CK, the story of it's fate really does bring home just how desperate the struggle was, & how close to being out of options the Allies were in those first few months of the PTO.
