I like it -- very evocative of time and place, though you might want to change the composition slightly as my eye is drawn to the film strip in the middle rather than the Hell Hawks logo, perhaps because of its black background. Maybe move the film strip to the bottom and offset the logo to the right?

S!

A VMF-213 campaign? Sweeeeeeet! I am a member of an online squad, VMF-124, the historical sister squadron of the 213.

Yep From

March of 43' to September of 43'
34 Missions broken up into 3 tours of duty

1st tour VMF-213 @ Cactus and Fighter One

2nd tour VMF-213 @ Cactus and Knucklehead

3rd tour VMF-123 @ Knucklehead and Munda

The Kicker is, I have so much information that I've gathered while waiting on the map such as Logbooks, and Squadron War Diarys that each and every mission in this campaign will be a mission that was flown by these units on those days, and to the best of the information provided they will be in the same weather, the same waypoints, and encounters.

The Logbook background belonged to a pilot named Votaw in VMF-213

Those Photos in the loading Screen are of the Units portrayed in this planned Campaign.

The Film strip had pictures of VMF-123 "The Eightballs" (Whom your assigned to during your third tour to help with their transition from the Wildcat to the Corsair.) The First is of the unit at Knucklehead (aka Russell Islands), the Second is of the Unit at Munda, (Note the blown trees)

The Lower pictures of the Three Pilots is of VMF-213 on April 25th 1943.... They left a space for their friend whom had been lost that day.....

Here are some snipits from the war diary from that day....
