VF-9 Wildcat
« on: November 13, 2017, 04:20:44 PM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

For Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of Vichy French North Africa, the USN assembled seven Wildcat fighter squadrons operating from one fleet and three escort carriers. They engaged the Vichy French Air Force throughout the three days of fighting until the battle was won. VF-9's Wildcats flew from the carrier USS Ranger and like all the USN aircraft that took part in Torch they had yellow ID bands painted around their side and lower star markings.

Outstanding! Great work!
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!

Very cool.   Can we see the underside, too?
