Some interesting stuff you guys have!
I'm a couple of short bus rides from a former Canadian De Havilland plant where they built many of the Allies' Mosquitoes.

the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I live in Philippines!! I am only a hour flight from any of the Famous Battles sites like Corregidor,Bataan,Clark field, Leyte Island and Leyte Gulf. I live where the one of the Battles of
Leyte Gulf took place. I live in Surigao City, Surigao del Norte Province on Mindanao Island. My wife province is on Dinagat Island where the Battle for Surigao Strait took place on the early morning hours of Oct.25th,1944 took place. Her village is straight across from where the American PT Boats first started the attack on the Japanese Southern Force.
Also on the northern beaches of Surigao you can see Leyte Island. In fact Leyte Island is just about an hour from where I live by boat. So I live where some of the greatest battles took place. Especially the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

Currently Live in Urbana Ohio & did work for Grimes aerospace. They made just about all interior & exterior lighting on all American manufactured aircraft during WW11. At one point 85% of all aircraft lighting came from Urbana.
