What started as a request for a picture of the 325th flyby over the last remaining Allied CV in frame three kind of got out of hand. :D
Enjoy.

Great Job!!! I love the in game voice as well. Certainly beats my squad sometimes.... We had a pilot call out... "You see that Carrier? It's at 4 O'Clock!" I responded "<callsign deleted to protect drunken idiots everywhere> Where is 4 O'Clock? I need grids! Not to mention you are in a gunners seat, sitting down facing backwards! Which 4 O'Clock? Yours or the plane's?" He called back: "Oh, I don't know, we are dead now. Anyone know where we were?" FSO, takes you to the heights... only to recall that the fall hurts much worse up there...

All:
The video is great all in its self. The real beauty is the filming of a text book attack on a Task Group by Dive bombers and Torpedo Attackers. Just as the TBM's line up you can see the ACK firing straight up as the Dive Bombers come in. The Torpedo Attack begins about 30 seconds later. Significant in this attack is that the SBD's and TBM's were in separate flights and converged on the target after a 100 mile flight. One flight at 15K and one flight NOE. And the overwhelming of the defenders as nearly 40 AC attack all at the same time. Watching the ship ack fire in a 360 degree pattern shows the effectiveness of a coordinated attack.
I have to give credit to the defenders the last minute turn of the Task Group counter clockwise made the TBM attack extremely difficult to get a good line up and probably saved several ships. Many of the torpedos missed there marks including mine and I nearly hit the DD I released on.
A good simple plan that was well executed. Excellent team work and coordination's between the squads for 2 days prior to the attack. Dedicated Commo men to relay info throughout.
This mission was a real pleasure to fly and be one of the first TBM's to drop. And one of the very few torpedo attacks I have ever survived :lol
This is the FSO at its best. <S>

Not as bad as "slow turn left"..... "the other left"
