FIRE IN THE SKY

On August 7 1942, in the Allies' first major offensive in the Pacific, U.S. Marines landed on Guadalcanal and seized the airfield being constructed by the Japanese. Renamed ‘Henderson Field’ after a marine aviator Lofton Henderson who was killed in the battle of Midway, the airfield would be vital in the Solomons campaign.
Six separate naval battles were also fought in the area as the navies of both sides sought to land reinforcements. By January 1943 there were a total of 44,000 US Troops on Guadalcanal. At the end of February 1943 the Japanese evacuated its remaining troops and retreated to the North. The first offensive was finally won and set the stage for the future of the Pacific war.

The Japanese lost a total of 24,000 men killed in the Battle of Guadalcanal, while the Americans sustained 1,600 killed, 4,200 wounded, and several thousand dead from malaria and other tropical diseases. The various naval battles cost each side 24 warships: the Japanese lost 2 battleships, 4 cruisers, 1 light carrier, 11 destroyers, and 6 submarines, while the Americans lost 8 cruisers, 2 heavy carriers, and 14 destroyers.

The FSO will take place after the major battle for Guadalcanal is over.

The LCA would be honored to die for the
Emperor and Japan.

Sign us up as Japanese.
I won't be able to give a commitment level
until my squad fully registers though.

Delta -- send me an email with screen shots of the errors. Include the full screen/page if you can. I think you still have my email address. If not you can use forhim at hitechcreations dot com and it will redirect to my preferred acouunt.

Ahh, the one setup where I truly do not have a favorite side to fly on!

Early Pac is where it's at!

I have had a rough week at work and have had little seat time on the computer, also a few squads still have not signed up and I wanted to wait as long as possible for that.

I will have the sides set and posted later today. Orders will also be out to the Frame 1 CO's today.
