October FSO - Operation Husky: The Invasion of Sicily

[MDStampf93]

Before dawn, Allied convoys sailed from North Africa and Malta toward the southern coast of Sicily. Covered by waves of Spitfires, Lightnings, and Marauders, the landings of Operation Husky marked the beginning of the campaign to drive Axis forces out of the Mediterranean. German and Italian air units scrambled from bases across Sicily to meet the assault. Luftwaffe Bf 109s and Fw 190s joined Regia Aeronautica C.205s in fierce defensive actions against Allied bombers and escorts. Despite the intensity of resistance, the Allies established fragile beachheads, striking at coastal bases and ports to open the way for a full-scale invasion of the island.

This FSO is set to depict the air battles that happened over the skies of Sicily during the Summer of 1943.

Husky is always a Good Time

I believe the Axis pilots might be experiencing airsickness from eating too much pasta before the mission launch.   

[MDStampf93]

It has been brought to my attention that Allies have not yet received orders.

367th, please get orders out to your comrades ASAP.

I have instructed AKs to become acting CiC tonight in the event orders do not get distributed.

Copy, it may be a bit before Rocco is away from work but I'll follow up.

[MDStampf93]

Sorry, had only mentioned that to WarHwk in CM forum, unsure if he had passed that info yet. I would recommend drafting some orders and sending them out around 5-6 pm est if nothing comes from the 367th by that time.

Copy, I'll keep a close eye on our internal comms today.  I'm sure War is on it.
