I am trying to find a H8K1 skin as a PAN AM Clipper for a new Java map. Apparently there used to be a lot of these beautiful skins around. They all seem to have dead links or the hosting web sites went out. I have tried for days to find one. Making a new skin seems silly as such beautiful skins seem to have been made (with much more skill than I have). Does anyone have any of these skins left over or know how I can get one? Thanks!
Excerpts From a book and website about the sudden war-caused around-the-world flight:
"Surabaya (Java, ed. RO) lay at the closed end of a large bay in the Bali Sea. The second largest city on the island of Java, it was guarded by a British garrison and a squadron of Bristol Beaufort fighters. As the Pacific Clipper approached the city, a single fighter rose to meet them; moments later it was joined by several more. The recognition signals that Ford had received in Australia proved to be in-accurate, and the big Boeing was a sight unfamiliar to the British pilots. The crew tensed as the fighters drew closer. Because of a quirk in the radio systems, they could hear the British pilots, but the pilots could not hear the Clipper. There was much discussion among them as to whether the flying boat should be shot down or allowed to land. At last the crew heard the British controller grant permission for them to land, and then add, "If they do anything suspicious, shoot them out of the sky!" With great relief, Ford began a very careful approach."
