The Last of a Dying Breed - Thu Aug 12th 2004
« on: August 12, 2004, 08:15:19 AM »
Hello Gents and Ladies!

This week's Snapshot is "The Last of a Dying Breed", depicting the aerial battles over the Island of Guadalcanal during April 1943. This would mark the end of an era for Wildcat pilots. After these fights, all Wildcat squadrons would convert to the Corsair.

More information of the event is available here: http://events.hitechcreations.com/snapshots/snapshot.php?snapshot_id=35

The Snapshot general forum thread is here:http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126843

See you all today on thursday at 3pm eastern, 21 central european time in the Special Events Arena!
