It was the start of the invasion of Italy.

A ferocious fight to take Sicily, then up the Italian peninsula.

The skies over Sicily will be filled with air combat of all sorts.  From altitude down to the deck.  Swirling combats of fighters vs. fighters.  Slashing attacks against bombers.  Brave bomber defense.  Racing to kill attack planes.  Working to get attack planes to target.

It will be a glorious, action-packed fight the whole way through.

Frames 1 and 2, allies from Malta working to secure the beach head.

Frames 3 and 4, allies at front-line fields, supporting the push inland.

That looks real fun! Won't be able to make the first one, but hopefully I'll be able to make at least one of the other weekends.
