American Knights: Young Guns

This is the FINAL campaign in my "American Knights" series.

This campaign pack was made with Il-2 1946, 4.10.1 #DBW 1916.

I can't verify if this campaign pack will work with anything else (but I wouldn't count on it).

This is an 18-mission, historical campaign, in which you will fly as part of the Lafayette Flying Corps, specifically Escadrilles 156 and 38, then transfer to the United States Army Air Service's 139th Aero Squadron.  These missions are based on those of American ace David Endicott Putnam, who was only nineteen years old during his entire time in combat.  The final missions are based on those of other pilots in the 139th.

This campaign runs from January to October, 1918

You will fly the Nieuport 27, Morane AI, and the Spad XIII.

Come together...right now...over me...

In my campaigns, always start with the highest rank available.  You will thus have command of your squadron in the air in all missions, allowing you to order individual flights to attack specific targets.

Shot through the heart, and you're to blame...

There is other air activity, and sometimes ground activity, going on during these missions.  This is for the sake of immersion, a little reminder that there is more to this war than just you.  Cycle through the cameras if you want to see what else is going on.

Bullet the Blue Sky...

This is a fully air-to-air campaign, meaning that in all missions, you will be up against enemy aircraft.

Bang, bang...I am the warrior...
