This is an oldie I made 12 years ago, and it is probably the most played of all my campaigns. So it is only right and proper that it is lifted over to BAT!
This is a semi-historical, 17-mission static campaign, set during the spring and summer of 1942. You are a USAAF fighter pilot flying the P-40 during the so called "Australian Blitz", when northern Australia was under heavy attack from Japanese air units. Most mission that takes place, happens on the correct dates and tries to follow history. At a time when Japanese forces were raging triumphant all over Southeast Asia, the green US fighter pilots of the 49th Pursuit Group, many of them just out of flying school, were ordered to cut short their operational training and rush to the northern coast of Australia. Between February 1942 and November 1943, during the Pacific War, the Australian mainland, domestic airspace, offshore islands and coastal shipping were attacked at least 97 times by aircraft from the Imperial Japanese Navy and Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. These attacks came in various forms, from large scale raids by heavy bombers, to torpedo attacks on ships, to strafing runs by fighter planes.

Edc1 - thanks Stan! I have also made a large number of changes. So for example there are no "skin hacks" in the campaign any more, only historical types, and there is a much larger variation of enemy types. The JAAF pitched in at the end, and in this new version you will meet JAAF aircraft types as well. And when you go on a night intercept mission, you will have radar guidance from the ground - thanks to the great C&C mod!
