"This list... is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf. "
- Itzhak Stern
Below is the updated aircraft service date list that is comprised of efforts of several Aces High members and staff. It's a list of known action/service dates that best relects the combat action aircraft saw during WWII. While it's not 99.99% accurate, it's a close representation to assist SEA and CT staff in creating historically accurate scenarios and settings. Special thanks to Squire, Widewing, Karnak, Tilt, Bronk, Bruno for their help in this list and to those who helped formed the first one.
