I once had a boss who was a Marine radar technician in the service just after the Second World War. He was in the back seat of a F7F Tigercat night-figher flying over Texas. His pilot had been doing some high speed runs just above the ground (sometimes inverted!) and when they were back at altitude, a flight of Skyraiders bounced them with the last Skyraider popping his airbrakes to pull up along side them, give them a salute and then dive again to catch up with his comrades.

My boss retold how he was amazed at the site of that Skyraider "opening up those dive brakes, looking like they were big doors....".

Great! Then I will build the skyraider for this campaign. I found the two fuselage side dive brakes on the kit, but did not notice the bottom one.

I guess the Spad was the last true dive bomber?

Looking forward to get started.

Well, it's March 1 somewhere so this campaign is now live. Please post all your campaign discussion in the official campaign thread. This current thread will now be locked.

Dive flaps out and bombs away!
