  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Screenshots!

I just picked up a copy in Very Good condition of Warpath across the Pacific: The illustrated history of the 345th Bombardment Group during World War II signed by the Author ($30). It's packed with pictures of the B-25 making low level attacks against the Japanese.

It's the perfect compliment to the copy of General Kenney Reports: A Personal History of the Pacific War that I acquired from a friend a couple of months ago. That has a wonderful narrative of the entire campaign, but alas no pictures.

p.s. I just found a copy of General Kenney's book on-line for anyone interested in a great read. https://media.defense.gov/2010/May/26/2001330291/-1/-1/0/AFD-100526-032.pdf

That title caught my eye!
I think (from the description) it's the one I purchased around 1990 or thereabouts.
Always liked those unit histories but this is a stand out, at the time it cost around A$150:00 and it was the first publication of its type to feature laser scanned images.
My copy resides (somewhere!) in my 'library', probably keeping company with Roger Freedman's 'Mighty Eighth', another standout publication.
Must go look them out.

Yeah I know what you mean. No doubt the nose would look top notch, but the rest of it...not so much.
 
Here's "Barbie III" another for the PTO, B-25H version.

I've just realized I never released it. It may be odd as I think I was unhappy with PTO's Corsair and may have just lifted the ETO one into PTO and it worked. Gotta dig into it.
