July 3rd 68Raptor Sand Hugger's Special guest Host MrMidi  :devil :devil :devil :devil

The Douglas A-20 Havocs were the main attack bomber of the Army Air Corps when America entered the war.  It was an extremely popular aircraft and ultimately flew combat missions in all theatres of the war and in the colors and markings of many of the Allied nations. Many of these sleek aircraft prowled in the North African battlegrounds of Tunisia with French crews from Squadron 15 out of Youks-les-Bains. In 1942 the U.S Army Corps 47th Bomb Group arrived from the States with Douglas A-20 Havocs and took over the 15th remaining battered DB-7 Boston's

July 17th Molsman On the Loose

The German Z-Plan has come to fruition. A new German carrier is loose in the North Sea reportedly with a complement of Ju87's and Bf109G-2's.

If they reach the Atlantic convoy routes, Allied Operations are in severe danger.
