16 Single Player missions on the Sakishima map.
New map textures for IJ_Sakishima and IJ_Palembang.
 
Operation Iceberg - the invasion of Okinawa and suppression of Japanese airfields on the Sakishima Islands, March-June 1945.
While the U.S. was preparing for and invading Okinawa...
The British Pacific Fleet was busy attacking Japanese airfields on the Sakishima Islands. Japanese planes and kamikazes fly from Formosa, stage overnight on the six airfields in the Sakishimas (located southwest of Okinawa), and then strike the U.S. Fleet at Okinawa. The British Pacific Fleet "Task Force 57" mission is to neutralize the Japanese airfields on the Sakishima islands in order to support the U.S. landings on Okinawa.

The 16 missions are in chronological order as a campaign would be. I didn't make this a campaign because you will fly different aircraft - Corsairs MkII and IV, Firefly (franken mod), TBF-1C Avenger, and Seafire MkIII.
Fairey Firefly franken mod:  https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,33979.0.html
It works in 4.12!

These missions are my take on historical missions as described in the book "The British Pacific Fleet" by David Hobbs.

I put the aircraft carriers much closer to the islands than in reality so that the flying distance would be shorter. Fuel is at 60% to make takeoff easier.

Skins are included - Thank you skinners!

A possible error found in the Sakishima map Load file...
if you have a problem with the map loading correctly it may be caused by...
"Highcloudsnoise = cloudsnoise003.tga".
Just delete that line and use the HighCloudsNoise = cloudnoise.tga line below it (just delete the ";" in front of it).

Read more in the "readme" file included in the download.
