Corsairs...kamikazes...OkinawaSomething Talon and I discussed once upon a time with great interest.

Talon switched to doing a Corsair Campaign in the Solomons starting in August 1943 but never did much of it.

Talon and i were regular email pals. We discussed a lot of his projects, finished and otherwise - including his Solomons work - and collaborated on his 'AVG' camp, as well his 'Red Star' work when he got that Korea air war "itch"
. I think i knew him personally about as well as one could in online communication, apart from this sim stuff.

It seems the thread has gotten a bit off topic but so far it's 11 for Rickenbacker and 5 for VMF 323.
With that in mind I am going ahead with the Rickenbacker campaign. That will be done so it could integrate into an Aerocrate install. I plan on a USAS UIRES in the Aerocrate style, new airfields in the St. Mihiel area, a little extra scenery, and some additional relevant aircraft with appropriate camouflage paints. Should be somewhere around 25 to 30 missions.
Don't despair you Marine Corsair guys. I won't forget about VMF 323 in the future though. I have a great book with a day by day account of their actions that is too good to forget about.
