12 Blenheims lost over Burma.
Oscars vs Hurris are tied.

One 17 lost. It goes without saying that is the best plane we have. Another squadron of 17's moves to Alice to prepare for a big raid on Wyndham. This may be costly.

The chief purpose of No. 4 Sqdrn RNZAF at this time is to make as much noise in the air as possible so as to inhibit Jap subs from recharging their batteries during daylight hours. On the ground, the aircraft are arrayed to absorb shrapnel damage and protect the valuable PBY's. The pilots will have some splendid stories to tell their grandchildren.

Sure, a 1000 lb bomb SOUNDS impressive, I will admit, but it still has to be carried to the target and dropped with some degree of accuracy.

The Vincent is an aerodynamic beast when it rolls off the production line but after a few months in service the extra drag from all the duct tape covering rips in the fabric has slowed the top speed to less than late model wee Jap dobber subs operating under deisel power.

That seems only prudent. Can't have duct tape being applied willy-nilly can we?

Duct tape? Good grief man, I can see you have never affected a temporary repair to any sort of aircraft...

Status: offline 		History of No.4 Sqdrn, RNZAF

Get this. They HAD Wellingtons and they gave them away.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._4_Squadron_RNZAF

Due to activity by German surface raiders, the squadron was hurriedly formed in October 1940, initially equipped with a range of hurriedly converted civilian airliners, the twin engined de Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide, and four engined de Havilland DH86 Express from Union Airways of New Zealand and de Havilland DH.60 Moth single engined machines from aero clubs - New Zealand's modern Vickers Wellington bombers having been offered to the RAF for the war in Europe, two years previously.

Squadron Leader G R White was the first commanding officer and stayed with the squadron for two years. The squadron moved to Fiji that month to assist 5 Squadron, and it took over obsolescent Vickers Vincent biplane torpedo bombers and later re-equipped with modern Lockheed Hudsons. When war with Japan broke out No. 4 Squadron remained in Fiji operating as a reconnaissance unit, and also for training crews to reinforce units in the forward area.

In May 1943 three American ships, the William Williams, Hearst and Vanderbilt, were torpedoed by Japanese submarines. Hudsons of No. 4 Squadron found the survivors of the Hurst and dropped supplies, as well as maintaining an anti-submarine patrol over the crippled William Williams was she was towed 120 miles north to Suva.

On 25 May a squadron machine sighted a surfaced submarine while escorting an American convoy and dropped four depth-charges. An oil slick appeared - after the war it emerged a Japanese submarine was lost at this time in the area.

On 7 September a squadron Hudson damaged a second submarine while escorting the American ship Saugatuck. 5 other sightings and attacks were made by the squadron without result.

The squadron re-equipped with Lockheed Venturas in 1944. In November it shifted base to Emirau, remaining there until February 1945, Guadalcanal from May 1945 to June 1945 and Emirau again in June and July of that year before moving to Los Negros where it remained when the war ended, disbanding in September 1945.

That duct tape induced drag is a positive not a negative.

For a fraction of the cost of acquiring one of the new Sikorsky experimental helicopters you have both loitoring capability over WJD subs operating under diesel power (provided you have a tailwind behind the Vincent) plus a much greater payload than those flimsy Sikorskys. And during the night, they can still continue their current role of protecting the Catalinas from night raids by taking a bullet otherwise intended for the Catalinas, just like a good Secret Service agent. With all these advantages, I am surprised M&M Enterprises has tried to sell you some additional Vincents.

There is no punch line, just historical FACTS. Which BTW, this mockery of a sham of a game does not feature

Prior to August 1942 fabric skinned aircraft (such as the Vincent, Swordfish etc) were repaired by little old ladies attached to each squadron. Not many people know that the WRAF was originally set up (in secret in 1918) to provide little old ladies who could darn the repairs needed to keep the fabric skinned aircraft of the time flying. The RAF originally tried to use airmen for this task, but it was soon found that they lost interest and would just send the aircraft flying with holes in as they were deemed to be lucky aircraft. The practice was halted in August 1942 as it was not deemed worthwhile in view of the limited numbers of fabric skinned types in service, especially as the insatiable need for peppermints was placing too much strain on the overstretched merchant fleet. Some historians have also claimed that the demise was further hastened when the little old ladies started to demand that aircrew spit on their hankies in order to wipe some dirt off their faces.

Dixie,

Do you know whether the Regia Aeronautica had a similar dedicated group of black robed nonnas for their fabric planes.

Wasnt the Audax an early 20's fighter?

If it had an upgrade path, it would be an upgrade to the Wright Flyer.

Not in this game.

The mighty Audax I is classified as a light bomber albeit with a scheduled upgrade path to the Mohawk fighter, although with PDU on, the player does have the option to upgrade to the fearsome Wapiti or even to the even more terrifying BUFF, the Lysander.

Hey don't dish the Vincent. It carries a 1000 lb bomb. Now the Audax with its monster payload of 4, yes check the number, 4 x 20lb bombs, now that is a fearsome beast. Even the Wapiti, the source of some merriment already on this AAR, carries 2x100 lb bombs.

Just remember, even the Vincent must have a mother somewhere. Which reminds me, how is Mrs Mengeles doing?

Wasnt the Audax an early 20's fighter?

If it had an upgrade path, it would be an upgrade to the Wright Flyer.


Not in this game.

The mighty Audax I is classified as a light bomber albeit with a scheduled upgrade path to the Mohawk fighter, although with PDU on, the player does have the option to upgrade to the fearsome Wapiti or even to the even more terrifying BUFF, the Lysander.

It never has seemed to me that naming "warplanes" after ruminants was a good idea. It suggests a military procurement system gone awry. Surely there are enough raptors or something of that sort. Hell, even something like "Weasel" seems better.

The forest of Sweet Osmanthus fell today.


Did anyone else have to look that up?

Fiji: Not much happened. The Oscars were quiet. Again, the danger of collisions between US Subs and Jap ships was largely avoided by careful seamanship. Again, a Vincent of No. 4 Sqdrn. spotted and, owing to a favorable tailwind, was able to close on a Jap sub off Nadi. A 1000 lb bomb was dropped from 5,000 ft and made a big white splash followed by an oil slick.

Casualties:

1,210 Anchovy*
17 Yellowtail
28 Flying Fish
1 Sea Turtle
2 Oceanic White Tips

A PT Boat flotilla ordered to investigate said the oil slick kinda smelled like ceasar salad.

Reinforcements arrived at Nadi where all artillery was ordered into a safety stand down. Allied forces at Suva sent about 1,000 WJD's to the Shinto shrine. The Tank Bn. attacking the Naval Guard unit in loin cloths on Northern Fiji suffered a freindly fire accident (losing 3 Stuarts). The Jap force is down to 3 guns with no troops . The losses probably represent ricochets?


SouthPac HQ (Nimitz in charge) is headed for Suva.


* I took the "e" out of "anchovey" but this doesn't look right either. Ah...screw it. I hate spelling.
