VF-27 F6F-5 Paper Doll, Here we go Devil
« on: July 13, 2024, 03:20:11 PM »
So for reference here's a link to fuzeman's post on the background of the cat mouth.

This was Ens. Bob Burnell personal ride, after the USS Princeton took major damage the remaining aircraft spread out and landed on different ships. Burnell landed on the Essex and Paper Doll was eventually pushed overboard to make room for more aircraft to land.

I'll be using this skin quite a bit. The F6F is my favorite plane from WWII for sure and I currently get shot down in it nearly every sortie in the game. Might as well look good doing it.

Nice skin! The pilot on #7's final flight was not Burrell but rather Carl Brown
who scored 5 kills then landed wounded on the Essex.

Thanks for that correction!
