Oh FWIW, this won't matter to anyone probably, but the option to fly the B-25H (sub for J model) in lieu of a formation of C models will be added.

Can't wait!


Really recommend "Flying Buccaneers" it's a great general history of the 5th AF during WW2.  You can find it online for under $10.

A couple other good ones that I've gotten over the last few years in case anyone is interested.

"Attack & Conquer: The 8th Fighter Group in World War II" - by John Stanaway & Lawrence Hickey
"Warpath Across The Pacific: The Illutrated history of the 345th Bombardment Group During World War II" - Lawrence Hickey

80th FS "Headhunters"

Ah, now it makes sense. :aok
Sums up what the action should be perfectly.
