Micah, got it no hassle

Warren Jordan, it is

Joey, do you know which unit he was in ? or should I add him to any BG in the 15th ????

I do not know the BG. I know he was a waist / tail gunner first on a B17 then on a B24. He started with the 12th USAAF then moved to the 15th in Italy. He was never very fond of ME109s or of FW190s.

HI Joey

okay added him to 2nd BG, flying B-17Fs, with the 12th AF

What a great idea.  If you are still accepting names I would like to put forward myself, Ian Ratcliffe (wargaming since 1979).  My father, Len Ratcliffe (who lost the fight in 1998.  First saw action on D+1, 7th June 1944 and ended the war in Hamlin 1945).  And my brother-in-law, Kevin Pooley, who has been playing BTR for years, and whose tales of long nights with the game fueled my interest in BTR and ultimately led me to this site.  It would be great if his name could appear in the updated version of the game he loves.
 
All three preferably the RAF, bombers are fine, but wherever there are gaps that need filling.
 
Thanks
 
Ian
 

Love the idea you have going. Is there any chance you can add my grandfather who was a gunner in B-26 Marauders from early 44 to the end of the war, his name is Arlo Carr and is still alive and kicking.

Thanks

Paul

Bushman, you got any idea on which B-26 Unit he was with ?, if I can, I would like to add him to the Unit he flew with ?

Hi everyone, I'm following your project for a long time now; everytime I pass on Matrix forums I make a visit here, eager fo any news about the game. I finally decided to ask if it's possible to add my name to the game.

I'd prefer to be in an Italian units fighting alongside the Allies, if they will be included in the game, otherwise any Italian unit will do well.
 
And...another silly request...being myself a great sci-fi fan, and loving the "new" Battlestar Galactica...if you can find a couple of yankee fighter pilots to be called "Lee Adama" and "K***(i guess there weren't much Kara in the USAAF at the time) Thrace", well...i'll be gratefull to you for the rest of my life [:)]
 
I understand it could be a "little" strange, no problem if you think it's not appropiate.
 
Thanks for your attention

Okay lets see

Fl. Len Ratcliffe
Po. Ian Ratcliffe
Po. Kevin Pooley

with 88 Squadron, flying Mitchell IIs, 2nd Group (88 flies Boston IIIs)

1st Lt Arlo Carr, with 386th BG flying B-26b, IXth BC (unless you can find the unit he was with)

Po. Claudio Anelli with 102 Squadriglia, flying Mc 205s BAF (got a delay of 312 turns, got to wait on the BAF to come in (tell you the truth, I got to check, as I am not sure which rank settings the It Allied use, I don't have any, I had to really dig to find info on the units and plane types, nothing on pilots)

yea that is what I thought, the It Allied are seen as CW, so they will use English ranks, so Po. it is

Hi Hard Sarge

I do not remember what unit he was with, but I know he flew on D-Day prepping for the invasion of Normandy. Since I live on the other side of the world I don't get to see him much anymore, but I will be seeing him in about 6 weeks and if it is still possible to fix him up I will get the information from him.

Thanks

Paul

hmmm I posted and lost the post ?

I made a mistake in my posting, 88 Squadron is flying Boston IIIs, not Mitchells

Unit is correct, my posting was wrong

A friend of mine, great fan of the game, would be inserted in the RAF for BTR. A Spitfire unit, if possible.
 
Name is
Pat Biancardi
 
Thanks

what, he doesn't want to be in the unit that wasn't there ?

get to it in a bit

Po. Pat Biancardi, 152 Squadron MED (Spit VC)

Got room for any more RAF bomber pilots? I grew up next to what was RAF Skellingthorpe, and as a lad had a great time exploring the old buildings, bunkers and firing range etc. We dug up incendary bomb fins, gas masks and literally hundreds of unspent .303 rounds etc .   Shame to say the airfield's pretty much all gone now, lost to the urban sprawl of the ever growing City of Lincoln.
 
So if you've got any vacancies with either No. 50 or 61 squadron, I'd be grateful if you could add my name to the ranks - Anthony Gent.

BC I am pretty weak on, I may have more info on the RCAF side of it then the rest (I got a book coming that I hope will help here, but it is not even released yet)

50 Squadron I can add in you into

Po. Anthony Gent, 50 Squadron, flying Lanc 1's

Thanks Sarge, just the job.
 
If you need any help with BC airfield names, locations etc just let me know. 

If it's not to late could I get Philip Weitkamp added. Any US group is fine.

2nd Lt. Philip Weitkamp, 79th FG, P-40F, 12th Airforce
