Filler Names

[harley]

Macunaima,

that's a great list, but we have 2 problems.

We are limited to 20 characters for the name, so many of those names just won't fit.

We are also limited to the ascii character set, so the advanced characters won't work either.

It's a pain, I know, but Waynno and I have a lot of other stuff to work on before we get to this sort of level.

[Hard Sarge]

this is what we have in game already, lets see how close we are

ORIGINAL: baskreuger

I can help you with some more (historical) names for the Dutch, both in their own Squadrons (322 RAF, 320 RAF, 321 RAF and 860 FAA).

"Van" is mostly written as "van" as in "Arnold van Delft" (the 'van' meaning he is originally from the city of Delft). The same with "der". It is "Hans van der Kop".

Not so odd that most Dutch pilots were not in Dutch squadrons, as they had more opportunity for action in British or mixed RAF squadrons and certainly more opportunity for promotion (only one position for squadron CO in the single Dutch fighter squadron.....).

I'll try and see if I can whistle up some more names.

Bas

Ps: thanks for our names in 322 and 320 Sq!

Thank you, I thought I was right, but wanted to be sure, as it is not how we spell our names

also thanks for the list

[Hard Sarge]

2nd Lt. Arnold Erbstoesser, 390th BG (B17)
2nd Lt. Emil Holtz, 379th BG (B17)
PO. Leonard P. Crierie, 427 RCAF Squadron (Hailf)
Sgt Norman Dewen, 102 Squadron (Hailf)

[uss segundo]

Thanks Hard Sarge for including me. My wife wont belive me. Looking forward to the game. Thanks again.[:D]

[Hard Sarge]

Thank you, great list
Question, I see in places there is just a small e before the last name, is this correct or should that be de ?

ORIGINAL: Macunaima

I'd like to include the historical names from the Brazilian pilots. They were all from the 1st Brazilian Fighter Squadron, 350th Fighter Group, 12th USAAF, and they flew P-47 Thunderbolt during the Italian campaing, from late 1944 until the end of the war.

[Hard Sarge]

overall , not to bad, only 2 names on my list do not match up with your list (one looks to be a Yank pilot flying with them)

Thanks, I was able to correct some spelling and correct the ranks, beside the rest of the names I did not have

[Hard Sarge]

okay first look

had to cut and chop some of the names, but we are better, which also remember due to how the game works, the pilots will show up as US, and don't pay attention to the numbers, those are slot numbers for the pilots and squadrons

LOL I don't know
Oldegard Olsen, Rolland Rittmeister and Carlos de Swenson, thse would have to be some touch guys growing up with names like that down south

ah crud, got to go back and hit the De

[ADM Halsey]

how about

FO Jack Lay 390th BG

(the US system does not have Sgts)

what about you mate ? you a old timer, you put your time into the game, you should be in it too

I second that for Jack!!!

[stgjr]

My paternal grandfather, Basil J. Garrett, was a sergeant in the US Army and fought in Europe. He crossed the Rhine in charge of a vehicle that, by the picture I saw, I think was a self-propelled artillery gun, but I might be wrong. My uncle told me that my grandfather once welded a trailer hitch to the vehicle so they could hail a trailer and extra ammo around.

[ADM Halsey]

Do you have the pic to post? It could be what was refered to as a M-7 Priest SP Arty. Like the one in this pic.

[Hard Sarge]

2nd Lt. Basil J. Garrett, 91th BG (B17)

[Macunaima]

ORIGINAL: Hard Sarge

Thank you, great list

Glad to be of help. The modified version with sorth names seems great.

Question, I see in places there is just a small e before the last name, is this correct or should that be de ?

Yeah, it's correct. The small e have the meaning of "and"... for instance, the name "John Richardson Cordeiro e Silva" would mean "John Richardson Cordeiro and Silva".

[Hard Sarge]

Thank you for clearing that up, I have seen the de and da before, but was not sure about the e, which, I figured you knew what you were writing, so the ones that I could, I added it that way

some of the names, I had to shorted, due to the space I am allowed, but I got most in as best I could

that is gonna be one Strong Squadron

which the way I see it, it would be a reinforced squadron to start with, and with the number of pilots it has, I am thinking of makeing it a FG instead, which in the long run, fits with how they were doing things at the time

[Rebel Yell]

Would love to get in, if its not too late.

David Pickert, prefer 381st BG (B-17) though would be happy with any Fort BG.

[Hard Sarge]

1st Lt David Pickert, 379th BG (B17)

381st is full

[Hard Sarge]

320 Dutch Squadron

[Hard Sarge]

322 Dutch Squadron

still needs a little work, but it is getting there

ahhh crudwell

I see Robbie and Saul got doubled up, that what happens when you a bunch of sheet of notes lieing around

fixed

[Rebel Yell]

Thank you, Sir!
