This is your chance to prove who is the greatest virtual P38 pilot. Can you match the exploits of Richard Ira Bong?
68 Years ago on December 28th, 1942 Richard Ira Bong started his onslaught of the Empire of Japan. On this day he scored his first air victories against the best trained pilots the world has ever seen.
To honor this date I am announcing a contest. The ultimate purpose is to gather as many videos of you flying as Dick Bong scoring his 40 victories. These videos will be combined into a video of Dick Bong’s combat career that will be presented to the Bong Veterans Memorial Center in Superior, WI which is close to his home of Polar, WI.

Hopefully your videos will be compelling enough to make a first class video that the Center can use to keep the memory of America’s Ace of Aces alive. Hopefully generations will look at this video and gain an appreciation of the skills involved in scoring 40 victories over Japan’s finest pilots.
The second purpose of this contest is to crown the highest scoring virtual P38 pilot and all the accolades that will follow including cold, hard cash. I am putting up $300 of my own money as an incentive for you to fly all of Bong’s missions in IL2 1946 and to see if you can exceed or equal Bong’s remarkable score.
The highest scores will be awarded thusly
1st place will be awarded $100
2nd place will be awarded $75
3rd place will be awarded $50
4th place will be awarded $25
A special award of $50 will be given for the most dramatic mission.
The rules are as follows…
1. You must fly every mission in the campaign America’s Ace of Aces 3.1 by Hairog downloaded from here

2. You will submit a recording via a IL2 1946 track of every mission flown to Hairog via email at Gogebic36@gmail.com so be sure to turn on your camera before every single mission.
3. Every mission will be flown in IL2 1946 version 4.10 using the appropriate skins for the mission. Use the ones provided with the campaign or if you have a more historically accurate one you may use that.
4. You will fly and then email your track to me with no more than one mission a day.
5. The campaign will be flown using the highest realism settings (realistic). You must land your plane successfully after every mission in friendly territory and get credit for your kills.
6. If you die then your finished because your dead. No second chances so don’t take chances.
7. You will have one year to complete the campaign.
Any questions please post them here.
Happy hunting and good luck.
