Did you know this skin is of Wilbur J. Thomas' plane, he was an Ace of VMF-213 the Hell Hawks,

stu Wrote:

One of the most successful but least known Marine Corsair aces was First Lieutenant Wilbur J. Thomas, whom Barrett Tillman called "one of the deadliest fighter pilots the Corps ever produced." He scored 18.5 kills while flying with VMF-213. Thomas' combat career is remarkable because he scored most of his kills in a one-month period during the hotly contested landings on Rendova and Vangunu islands in mid-1944.

After staying in the rear area of the New Hebrides, Thomas was finally transferred to the combat zone. He flew his first missions in June and July 1943. His mission on 30 June was a CAP mission over amphibious landings at Wickham Anchorage on the southern tip of New Georgia.

Fifteen Zeros pounced Thomas's fighters. After he had become separated from his group, seven Zeros had attacked the lone F4U, but, undeterred by the odds, Thomas turned into the Japanese, eventually shooting down four of them. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for this mission. Three weeks later, on 17 July, Thomas and his wingman attacked a group of Japanese bombers and their Zero escort, and shot down one of the bombers.

Thomas was on the receiving end of enemy fire on 23 September. After shooting down three Zeros, and splitting a fourth with his wingman, the young ace found he had taken hits in the oil lines. His engine seized and he glided toward the water, eventually bailing out at 3,000 feet. He scrambled into his rubber raft and waited for rescue. He paddled for five hours to keep from drifting to enemy positions. After 10 hours, a Consolidated Catalina flying boat (PBY) set down beside him and brought him home.

By the time VMF-213 left for the States in December, Wilbur Thomas had scored 16.5 kills in five dogfights. He returned for another combat tour, this time on board the carrier Essex (CV 9) headed for the South China Sea and Japanese bases in Southeast Asia. He added two more kills to his previous score when he took out two Zeros near Tokyo during Essex's first strike against the Japanese Home Islands on the afternoon of 16 February 1945

W. J. Thomas is Second from the Right on the first (kneeling) Row!

After almost three weeks offline and off IL2 I returned to find the Slot released.
Magnificent! When I loaded up Chris' F4-F mission I was stunned at the visuals. I'm going to have to fly over the whole thing because it is on a par with Slovakia in terms of realistic appearance. Can't believe how good it is. Well done Slot Team.
Great fun mission, too. My little break really made me appreciate the quality and excitement of this game again.
Anyway, here are a few simple shots that show off the amazing work done by the Slot team, Avala, Flushmeister and the skinners.

Beautiful! Just love seeing someone using and enjoying The Slot.

Team Pacific is testing The Slot Version 1.1 right now. T made a lot of changes to runway locations, and AI spawn and taxi points, and I have fixed many other things that were identified by user feedback.

As soon as testing is completed we will send it to Fly_zo for check-out and upload.
