Here's a portion of a review of the book "Warpath across the Pacific" that I found interesting.

Legacy of the 345th Bomb Group
The 345th's area of operations was vast, spanning over all of New Guinea, Dutch New Guinea and up into the Philippines, Chinese coast, Formosa and finally the southern islands of Japan and Korea. This combat history is divided over 21 in depth chapters of text that take the reader through every day, and ever mission of the "Air Apaches". During its 26 months of WWII service, the group flew a total of 58,562 combat hours on 9,120 strike sorties. It dropped 58,000 bombs, weighing 6,340 tons and fired 12.5 million rounds of ammunition. Credited with sinking 260 vessels for a total of 190,000 tons and damaging 275 others. A total of 260 planes were destroyed on the ground, and 107 aerial victories, in total the unit won the Distinguish Unit Citation four times. For aficionados of the B-25 Mitchell, this book will be of particular interests, as the 345th flew this medium bomber throughout its entire combat career, including the early model "C" and "D" variants, through the "J" model.

Here's the link for more info. Sounds like a great book although a little pricey.

That's a good one.

Your recommending the very same book I just found on the web.

Great minds...



Worth every penny, BTW (I own it). It has every single operation listed, day by day. targets, planes lost, and HUNDREDS of pictures. This outfit does the unit histories of doom.

Very nice indeed. Thanks.

Is there any way to apply this mod to the B-25D? Replace the 25D instead of the J?

[Dudok22]

Now when we can add new planes we can make and add this aicraft with his own FM

[shakthamac]

hey MAHA,

since we can now add new AC with new flight models, weapons, etc. I was wondering if you would be interested in finishing out this bird. all we need is to add the gun packs to both sides, delete the tail guns, increase the # of parafrags and perhaps add the rocket stubs from the H model.

of course, after typing that, that seems like a lot of work to me.

[Monguse]

For one I hope this gets done.


This would be a welcome addition to the Pacific maps currently being developed and those slated to be .

[saunders1953]

How about a J-22 (or whatever model it was) that had the eight-gun nose pack from the factory? I've been setting up missions for and flying the Strafer almost exclusively for the last two weeks (except when I'm in a Spit MkI over the channel ) and think it would just add to the immersion to have one of those.

[shakthamac]

oh i totally agree saunders. I'd love to see both birds in game.

[Monguse]

Can this B25D be placed in its own slot with correct munitions and FM?

[MAHA]

I can't do it, guys. Please ask MrJolly or other Java-programmer.

[urufu_shinjiro]

Jolly? You out there? We need this bad!

ya, i agree, this need it's new slot, a really cool plane and new slots give no issues with cheating + keep old planes too
