Late war Avenger
« on: September 18, 2016, 04:08:36 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This TBM called "Fertile Mertle" was part of Marine squadron VMTB-143 "Rocket Raiders" based on the escort carrier USS Gilbert Islands which supported the Australian invasion of Borneo in July 1945. Prior to this in 1943 the squadron operated from land bases during the Guadalcanal and Bougainville campaigns.

Good work! <S>
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.
