The Big E 44 is the name of the next installment of following the USS Enterprise thru WWII.It starts in November 1943 as Enterprise has finished her repairs and refit from her battles in the Solomons.This time she is not alone as the new Essex Class Fleet Carriers and the Independence Class Light Carriers join her.They are attacking in Gilbert and Marshall Islands from November to January.In November Makin is first with ground attacks and Japanese attacking the USN Fleet and the first night mission with an Avenger using radar guides Hellcats to attack Betty bombers,Butch O'Hare was lost during this mission.Ships in Kwajalein Harbor are attacked next.After that Taroa is attacked.The last attack is Kwajalein again in support of the Invasion.These are all finished.
The Next missions being worked on are the attacks on Truk Feb.17-18,1944.My son found a map that shows the different anchorages and also the number of Japanese planes stationed there.His plan is work on them over the Labor Day Weekend which is this weekend.
With the Marianas and Philippines missions he has about 37 missions,he just has to fill in the gap between Feb. and June 1944.
