Anglo-Iraqi War

[Kaiser]

At least for me a pretty unknown theatre of WWII:

Well this explains the Iraqi aircrafts found in some booster packs :)

Interesting.

You're talking about:

Gloster Gladiator Mk.I Unknown Pilot 4 Squadron Royal Iraqi Air Force

&

Fiat Cr.42 Capitano Francesco Sforza Squadriglia Speciale Iraq Regia Aeronautica

Exactly :)

I'd love for them to release some Bi-plane (WWII of course) minis soon so we can play with them.

An interesting area of war :). Here I attach a link to the Heinkel-111 in Iraqi colors. http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/315/19/0#1

They must have been scared of my Ninja like piloting skills and decided to give into my demands. On a less egotistical note, I am really excited at the upcoming Bi-planes and heavy fighters releases with all the new historical battles that can be recreated now in 3-D!!!

At this very moment I am reading 'England's last war with France' which deals with our fight against Vichy France from 1940 - 1942. The war above is covered as is the British invasion of French Syria, all sorts of aircraft are used during these fights; Glenn-Martins, Bloch 200's, Gladiators, Audax, Hurricanes, Dewoitines, Blenheim's and a host of others both bi and mono. I have written up a scenario based on the siege of Habbinaya but with our WWI aircraft, I have not been able to test it yet, but when I do I will post it.

This is a very good book on the campaign if you can get hold of a copy:
