Thank you Kurt.

I wonder if anyone will do a mission of them attacking the IJN Fleet at Midway.

I have a DVD of the USS Hornet that covers it during the War and it also has film of Midway of the Japanese attack.Talon's uncle served on the Hornet until was sunk and took some of the film of all the battles she was in and the Doolittle Raid taking off.Some it is footage never seen before.It also showing the Vindicators taking of to attack the IJN Fleet.

I know I went off topic.

Beautiful! One of my favorite planes from the Golden Wings era. Ginter Books has a superb book on this plane.

Yes I know there is a mission of them at Midway but it's old.So you are saying a new mission with all the new ships,Effects and Planes is a bad thing?So I guess updating of the Shadow Wolf,Captain Kurt and Talon campaigns with all the new ships,planes and scenery is bad because they were already done before.

It doesn't matter,a whole new mission of the Vindicators at Midway has already been done from scratch.A lot of the attack missions from Midway I been done all from scratch.These include the B-17 and PBY attack on the IJN transport fleet,B-17 attack on the carriers,a B-26 attack,Avenger attack and the Dauntless attack.I think Stuart did these years ago.
