The USN gets its first major strike in here with the USS Lexington and the USS Yorktown. We kick out some Dauntlesses and Wildcats on a desperate strike in the dark, but the Japanese are out there somewhere... Meanwhile, we suffer a major setback in New Guinea. This war is far from over, for sure. But the New York Times has a headline to keep the folks behind us here, more to come! Hope you enjoy the episode, but we need to huddle up here and CINCPAC needs all opinions. More to come folks, hope to see you there!

Wanna buy me a coffee? Thanks much, but I'd appreciate it if you kicked a couple of bucks to preserve World War II aviation instead. Check these guys out:

Good folks. Helluva collection they got, and your donation will go to people who are doing their best to preserve the past. Hope to see them all in action soon.
Not into aviation? No problem. Battleships could use some love too:

BB62 a little modern for you? There's a dreadnaught who could use your help as well:
