    Great photos and post. Give an idea for some games with those planes.

    On a related note: If I ever get to make my movie about 5th Air Force, there will be many scenes like those pictured above in it.

    I even have the Comedy Moment set up: Scene is on the bridge of a Japanese ship. Captain tells Subordinate "go out onto the bridge wing and see what's attacking us". Sub ordinate goes out -- almost immediately is ducking MG fire. Subordinate then looks out and sees a B-17 flying past *below* the level of the ship's bridge. Cut to bridge interior with Captain in foreground; in background we see Subordinate with Stunned Penguin Look on face slowly backing into bridge.

    G'day Nick!
    You might like to check out my AAR for The Battle of the Bismarck Sea in the WW2 AAR section. Its a while back now but you will find it OK. We used War at Sea model ships & the Beaus did an amazing job.
