I believe it's from Pearl Harbor, one of the two that got airborne to engage the Japanese.

The markings were changed afterward, but please note that since this happened ON the day war started, these were pre-war markings.

EDIT: Also:



I believe this was a Midway skin, still very early in the war. Not 100% sure, though.

This Is a P-40B Skin with an early war star on it. this Photo is Not Edited and is straight out of my Screen-shot Folder

You mean one of those P-40B's that saw combat at Pearl Harbor.

See?  You got your wish.

Actually, anything that flew in the Battle of the Coral Sea would have been so marked too.  So, SBD and F4F.  Otherwise, there is nothing else currently in game that would have those markings that already don't.

There honestly isn't much. What are you looking for? The P-40Es wouldn't have it, they're too late in the war, as are the Corsairs, the Hellcats, the Ponies, the Lightnings, the B-17s, the B-24s, the B-25s, the B-26s...

The Wildcat was from the USS Ranger which was based in the Atlantic in 1942. I picked it because the AH F4F-4 has mirrored wings and it was one of the few F4Fs with the early markings on both wings top and bottom. IIRC the USN deleted the red markings from their insignia in the middle of 1942, just before Midway.

The TWO planes were "from" a squadron, not flown in squad sorties or in any strength other than 1-at-a-time basis, and only flown for a short time before being reverted to older markings. Night intruder doesn't mean active combat. They may never have found anybody to kill (hence maybe why they were deemed unsuited??)

Again, no evidence so far that they're worthy of being skinned in AH.

Think this might be enough to fill the requirements?
