hmmmm 132 Squadron

Spitfire LF.IXC

The (hopefully) soon to be mighty 132 (city of Bombay) Squadron [:D]

Thanks Hard Sarge. Been a number of years since I was a butter bar......

I remember the first words of advice from the NCO who inproccessed me into the Army as a brand new 2LT:
1. Don't speed on post
2. Don't write bad checks
3. Don't cruise the commissary for dates

Hi Juggalo (Hmmm ICP ?)

FO Chad Gwinn 4th FS

you would be surprised at some of the names of the times

Thanks for the transfer, Hard Sarge.

ORIGINAL: Hard Sarge

so, here is your chance, if you would like to have your name added to the game, let me know

Not my name, but F/Lt N. D. Webb, 61 Sqn, who was my great-uncle's pilot. Stayed at the controls long enough to get all but one of the crew out when they were shot down by a Ju88 after attacking Schweinfurt. The same crew also bombed Peenemunde on the first game turn, so it's historically correct as well.

Hi Fochinell

well the aim is to get as many real pilots in as I can, so he is more then welcome

for the fillers, I just offering spots so they not all taken up by AI made people

I will get him in shortly

it is HARD to tell from they way you stated it, but was he able to get out in time also ?

yessir, I was once really Down with the Clown...but after settling down and having a couple little Juggalos of my own, I couldn't even tell you if those two whack-jobs are still alive...[:D]

and thanks for adding my name....now I'll have to buy this game again!
(told the wife...she gave me one of these---->[8|])

You know, it's HARD to say how well these old Talonsoft games will sell....I can't think of any other old wargames that some company bought the rights to, enhanced, and then re-released...[&:]

Matrix is sailing into unknown waters here I reckon....I hope they have a solid marketing plan....gotta get the word out!!!
Too bad they're not going retail though....[:(]

I sincerely hope this "gamble" pays off for Matrix in a big way!

So keep crankin' out that code, and have a Faygo™ for me, eh?

FL N.D. Webb 61 Squadron, entered

Sorry, I should have been clearer - he survived, but Sgt. Johnny Brown, their flight engineer, was killed. The rest of the crew were in no doubt that Webb was the last out, and had made their own escapes possible.

And in the interests of accuracy, I should correct myself to say they went down on the inbound leg of their 29th op.

Cheers for that, HS.

Good I am glad to hear he made it out

one thing I notice, that I do not like about alot of my reseach, is it makes me sad to read about all of these that did not make it

I really hate reading about the 10-12-20 missions that this or that guy flew, and then see that he was shot down and killed on Aug 3rd 1943

one side of my head pops up with, oh, too bad, can't put him in, it just don't seem fair

I notice the CO for the 303rd BG (in the game), he had flown 25 missions and was pulled from duty, was reassigned to 8th bomber command, while in England he crashed while flying a P-40 and was killed, before the start of the game, but some one seen he was part of the 303rd and had him added in

now I got to figure out if I should pull him

Hi there,
could you add Daniel Borrmann, future German Ace, how about to JG52 with Bubi Hartmann, the best? Or use my other surname Daniel Mendoza, as a Spanish Volunteer "Blaues Geschwader"!
I also got a deceased godfather called Raymond A. Frick who flew a B-24 out of Italy and spent a year in prison camp after being shot down near the Adriatic coast.
More stuff, got a huge list of German pilot names for a test scenario for WitP, many generic out of BOB and BTR, but also many taken from Osprey´s Aircraft of the Aces, if you need a file, send me a message to dmenbor@gmail.com
Pauke, pauke!!!

Off to work, will get to it in the morning

okay lets see

Ofw Daniel Borrmann, I/JG52

1st Lt Raymond A. Frick 98th BG

I let you slip in, I don't have the Spainish unit set up, I believe it stayed pretty much on the russian front

Pete Biscardi, USAAF

2nd Lt Pete Biscardi 33rd FG

I have a request:

Jack Lay

Would prefer USAAF, 8th AF, B-17s

My dad was a "flying seargent". After surviving Pearl Harbor he moved to the 8th and was in Jimmy Stewarts Squadron. From what I understand he never "officially" finished pilot training because of a frozen caborator on his solo (ruling of the board of inquiry after he landed in a corn filed in CA), and a problem with his appendex in HI before next solo, then the war starting. He flew "mechanical failure" verification flights on round trips to Scotland and did one "milk run" against the french coast, but did not "officially" fly in combat. Thats the story anyway.

hey J O
been a while

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
