I've never heard of any P-66's being used in Burma, except maybe flying over it into China.  As far as I know, Chinese pilots were the only ones to fly it in combat.  At that time, available aircraft in China were scarce and all P-40s were used by the Americans there.  P-66s filled the gap until more P-40s became available for the Chinese to fly.

I'd like to see both the P-66 and Vultee Vengeance as MODS.  The Vengeance was used heavily by the RAF for a year in Burma.  RAAF also used it over New Guinea but not much.  The P-66 is probably easier to make as a mod though.  I'm sure someone will take on the task in the future.

Now we have the Vengeance!  but still waiting for P-66 and P-43 ???

Vanguards were delivered to the RAF in India. When the RAF transferred them to the Chinese, they made their way to China via Burma. A couple were actually lost on the way in Burma (not due to combat).

To "alternative Wars" sorely lacking such planes as P-66, P-43, and V-143.

I wish someone would have a second thought about creating this at last. This plane seems underpowered for combat, but I am pretty sure that it was a pretty fun little plane to fly.
