Thursday snapshot - Down & Dirty - on the Mar 8th
« on: March 08, 2007, 12:45:45 AM »
Welcome to the snapshot today! This time we'll be flying the "Down & Dirty" which is based around american ground attack planes.

Down & Dirty



Quote
The biggest and heaviest fighter produced by America during the war was the P-47 Thunderbolt. This airplane was so well built that all of her leading aces survived the war. While the heavy bombers of the 8th Air Force busied themselves with high altitude precision bombing of Hitler’s industrial cities, it was the medium and light bombers of the 9th Air Force that worked to destroy bridges, barges, RR yards and ground combat forces. Both the 8th and the 9th Air Force used P-38’s, P-47’s, and P-51’s to protect their bombers, but over time their rolls changed to fighter-bombers.
 

The event will begin at 21.00 CET, 3 PM EST in the Special Events Arena. Please be there some 10-15 minutes early.
