Wednesday May 18th, 2011 10:00pm Eastern in SEA II – Snapshot ”The Legend of Y29" Hosted by 68Raptor
In this week’s snapshot we re-create a legendary air battle, the Legend of Y29. With one of the biggest mistakes for the Axis army continuing with Operation Bodenplatte the legend of Y29 was born. The FW190's and BF109's of JG-11 arrived at Asch just as the 487th FS of the 352nd FG were rolling down the runway; the ensuing battle came to be known as the Legend of Y-29.  The pilots of the 487th Fighter Squadron who took off under fire and in the face of overwhelming odds scored 23 kills while suffering only 2 damaged aircraft in the face of 3:1 odds.
Snapshots are walk on events hosted in the SEA II, and all are welcome. Forums are located Here.

The IJAAF (flying Ki-43s (A6M2's), Ki-44s (A6M5b's), G4M1 Bettys, and Dinahs (Bf-110C's)) have taken bases in Siam and are setting up for a bombing offensive against the vital port.
