On Palm Sunday, April 18, 1943, Over Cape Bon, Tunisia, an Axis force of *60 Ju-52 transports escorted by 21 Bf-109 Bf-110, & MC-202 fighters were headed for Sicily when they were intercepted by a patrol of 46 P-40Fs, 12 P-47s of the 314FS/324FG and with a high cover of 12 RAAF Spitfire Vs from No. 92nd Sqdn. The intercept was based on messages received from the German enigma codes (Ultra). The slow Junker 52 transports were on their way with supplies to the German Army in North Africa.
 
The American P-40s dove out of the sun and when the smoke had cleared, 59 Ju 52s and 16 fighters had been shot down for the loss of 6 P-40s and 1 Spitfire - arguably the finest single engagement for the P-40 Warhawks ever, a slaughter that came to be known as the "Palm Sunday Massacre".

before the days of FB/AEP/PF there was a great site called Sturmovik Technika and many regretted its passing.... this FMB guide with example missions was regarded as very good by many...

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.
