25 Squadron RNZAF SBD-5
« on: September 28, 2017, 04:20:41 PM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

Beginning in March 1944 25 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force flew SBD-5 dive bombers from the island of Bouganville in the Solomons. Early sorties were against Japanese troops in the vicinity of their airfield and later on they flew against airfields and other targets on the Japanese fortress of Rabaul. After two months of operations the squadron was withdrawn to re-equip with F4U-1A Corsairs.

Looking good!
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!
