• 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.

If you want some great Midway missions get the AF=Midway missions by Pen32Win.He also gives you the ships and planes for them and they are from both sides.

The pics are from my personal collection of missions I've done and never uploaded and have no plans to u[load them because I never finished working on the mission pack or the campaign.There is no plans to finish either the Midway pak or the Aleutians Campaign.
