a mini campaign of Pearl harbor... with the frst mission as a look at the fleet just before take-off... just to look at... you don't fly in this one
the second is the take-off phase... more scene seting eye-candy
the third attack phase has a choice of four different complexities depending how good your machine is, and how much stutter you are prepared to put up with....
(this is called the small version because it is missing some sound files I included with the full version... just briefing screen music... which bumbed it up to over 6 mb.

FW-190D-9 flown by Gerhard Michalski, the last Geschwader Kommodore of JG 4
Neukirchen/Germany, April 1945.
 
 
Gerhard Michalski, was one of the fighter-pilots who flew in the Battle of Britain, at that time as an ADC to the famous "Henri" von Maltzahn, leader of II./JG 53 "Pik As". Michalski flew together with von Maltzahn on the Eastern Front and in the air-battle of Malta where he shot down 26 British fighters. In June 1942 he was promoted as leader of II./JG 53. In 1944, Michalski became Geschwaderkommodore of JG 4 and participated, flying this "Dora 9", in the German retreat on the Eastern front until 1945. Oberstleutnant Gerhard Michalski survived the war with 73 victories, only to lose his life in a traffic accident in 1946.

From the readme...
 
This is a totally fictitious campaign involving the Balaton region map and the Player as a German pilot. You'll be flying first the B-239 Buffalo being used as a trainer, then the Bf-109E-4B Jabo fighter bomber. As you will quickly learn, this campaign came solely from my fertile imagination so if you are looking for history, you might try another campaign. Accurate history aside, if you are looking for a 37 mission campaign with varied missions and quick action, you've came to the right place. Ive tried to make each mission different and challenging without making the pilot fly 2 hours to get somewhere, or making the missions so tough you want to quit trying after doing the same mission 12 times.
 
This is a BETA release of this campaign. I would very much appreciate ANY feedback at all, positive, negative, contructive, destructive, or otherwise. Please let me know what you think. Thanks...

The Ohka was launched around 55 miles(88km) from the target, usually from under the belly of a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bomber, at an altitude of about 27,000 ft (8,240m) and speed of 175-200 mph(280-320 km/h). The first 50 miles(80km) were covered by gliding at around 230mph(370km/h), upon which the pilot ignited the rockets to take the speed up to around 535 mph(860 km/h). In the final dive approach, speeds of up to 620 mph(1,000 km/h) were reached.
 
The first recorded attacks by an Ohka is on March 21, 1945, when 16 were launched to intercept a US Navy fleet at Kyushu. However, the G4M Ishiki-Rikko was one of the weak links of the Ohka, the Mitsubishi bomber was virtually unarmoured and its entire wing was a giant fuel tank without a self-sealing lining; it was slow and unwieldy at the best of times and the addition of the Ohka made it even more so. This mission illustrated this vulnerability to a T when it was intercepted by Grumman F6F Hellcats and all the bombers were destroyed.
 
The first successful attack is thought to have been on April 1 1945, damaging the battleship USS West Virginia and two cargo vessels.
 
On April 12 the American destroyer, USS Mannert L. Abele was sunk by a direct hit.
 
On May 4, the destroyer Shea was hit by an Ohka as was the USS Hugh W Hadley on May 11; while they did not sink, both destroyers were judged to be beyond repair.

Messerschmitt Me 109E-3
4. Staffel, II. Gruppe, JG 77
Pilot: Oberleutnant Helmut Henz (Staffelkapitän)
Poland, September 1939
Profile & Extract from Ipmsstockholm.org .Here is a Me 109E-3 in the original camouflage scheme used up until after the invasion of Poland, namely a splinter pattern of RLM70 Schwarzgrün and RLM71 Dunkelgrün on top and coming right down the fuselage sides, with RLM65 Hellblau underneath. The identification number and II.Gruppe marking are white as is the spinner, all indicating the 4.Staffel.
The yellow nose paint was first introduced on 109's during the Polish campaign as a recognition marking to avoid "friendly" fire from the Wehrmacht when operating on ground strafing missions; I have read that the Luftwaffe lost more 109's this way in Poland than were actually lost in combat, and hence the yellow became the much used ident colour in future offensive campaigns. The shield with seagull badge of II.Gruppe JG 77 was on both sides, but the "Grim Reaper" badge of 4.Staffel was only on the left side. Note the small size of the early thin style of cross and original position of the swastika.
In addition to the oil and fuel triangles this aircraft also shows the red cross on white square marking on the rear fuselage hatch where the first-aid medical kit was stowed.
I had to skin it on a E4 seeing we dont have a E3 ,The only thing i could`nt get what i wanted was the swastika in the right place(read above it was more central on the tail in early markings according to the profile) due to the void mapping ( it dont come out right ). ive used jesters excellent template again ( many thks) theres also a no markings skin (with grim reaper) in the download. Bright finished.......buglord

Bf.110G-2 Unit: I./NJG4 M8+HP . G4 skinned on a G2.
Major Wilhelm Herget flew this Bf.110G-4 while stationed at Flogennes, Belgium in December of 1943. At this time Herget commanded I./NJG4 as designated by the double chevron on the side of his Bf.110. Major Herget ended war with 75 confirmed victories. The Bf.110 was painted overall RLM76 Light Blue with RLM75 Gray-Violet mottling only on the upper surfaces. The shark mouth was RLM23 Red outlined in white, while the NJG4 badge under the front cockpit was also outlined in white. Template by Jester :) added my own weathering layers etc . Theres also a no markings version in the download, Bright finished...........buglord

This is a pack of 1O skins (5 coming with a red star, and 5 blanks).
 
Those skins are not historical, but very close to real planes. Four planes are coming with a white camo, and one without! Base: US P-40C
