P-66 Vanguard

[pnzrgnral]

I watched a Youtube video last night on the P-66 Vanguard and was surprised by some information presented. According to the video, the P-66 equipped at least one squadron of the 14th Pursuit Group, USAAF, in southern California on 7 Dec 41. Since it's been forever since I played stock, I seem to recall that the ONLY user for P-66 is China, and that holds true for the Babes mods. I'm informationally challenged when it comes to air OOB - I'm a land and sea OOB junkie - so can anyone shed any light on this subject, with the intent to inform modders of historically accurate airframe usage?

There is an error in this article calling the Avenger a dive bomber, but otherwise . . .

Thanks Joe, RLTW

There were multiple types of aircraft that the US Air Force or Navy had. And they are not in the game. For various reasons.

Of course. Can you shed any light on those various reasons?

I can't... You have to look it up on the internet.
