Dedicated Roles available:
Torpedo Bombers
Dive Bombers
Fighters
Scout Planes

Other roles available to all:
LVTs for the capture of Port Moresby
Ship Gunners
Ship Captains (for evasive maneuvers and to turn the CV into the wind for takeoff/landing operations)

Choose your side, Team Alpha or Team Zulu, and experience the battle from both sides of the War.  Each team will fly as axis or allied for 2 Saturdays, then they'll switch sides and do it again from the other side of the battle.  As an axis, you'll steam towards your objective, Port Moresby, and sink any Allied Carriers in your way.  As an Allied, you must search for the Japanese fleet and sink them!  The weather will change abruptly at some locations, while the winds may push you off course abit.  You must stay alert at all times.  Good luck.

Enlist here:http://ahevents.org (http://ahevents.org) :Log into the website and register with Team Alpha or Team Zulu in the Scenario section.

The soundtrack is by Copland, titled "Fanfare For The Common Man".  The song was first played in 1942.

I removed lots of the dead air time from the documentary to keep it more exciting, as well as rearranged it to match the music better and to tell the story the torpedo and dive bombers's story.  There are parts with real footage with AH sounds, and AH video with real audio.  I tried to blend AH and real life together, all while entertaining and educating folks about the Battle of Coral Sea.

Thanks for watching!

I'm not going to be pulled in by that bait, especially in this thread. I'm sure I already presented everything you need to know on country channel one night, so I request that you leave me be.
