Welcome to Wednesday Night Snapshot
Event begins at 10PM EST

To boost morale following Guadalcanal, Yamamoto
decided to make an inspection tour throughout
the South Pacific. On 14 April 1943, the US
naval intelligence effort, code-named "Magic",
intercepted and decrypted a message containing
specific details regarding Yamamoto's tour,
including arrival and departure times and
locations, as well as the number and types of
planes that would transport and accompany him
on the journey. Yamamoto, the itinerary revealed,
would be flying from Rabaul to Ballalae Airfield,
on an island near Bougainville in the Solomon Islands,
on the morning of 18 April.  American pilots
flying P-38 Lightenings from the 339th Fighter
Squadron were tasked with shooting down Yamamotos
aircraft and the aircraft carrying his staff.
Launching an early morning the mission the Americans
pilots flew 430 miles to the rendezvous point at
wave top level.

P-38Gs with a 10K ceiling, eh?  And the Ki's they'll be going after are capped at 3K?

There's gonna be a lot of American lawn darts with those G-models..."Dive brakes!  Where are my dive bra..." BLAM!!! :rofl

Should be fun though.

If the passengers get unruly are the 67 drivers allowed to salvo them?

Also look at the ack setting, 2.0, double the strength of the MA. I wouldn't get to close to any enemy base ;)
