Wednesday June 8th, 2011 10:00pm Eastern in SEA II Snapshot - "Operation Olympic" Hosted by 68Raptor.
It is November 1st 1945 and the Japanese Empire still refuses to surrender. United States military leaders have agreed that the only way to end the war is a massive invasion of the Japanese home island. To accomplish this Operation Downfall is a go. Operation Downfall calls for two immense military undertakings, the first of which is Operation Olympic. In this snapshot we will recreate just one of what would have been many aerial assault by the United States Navy on the Japanese island Kyushu.

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.
