That was one of the planes I reacted to, also many faulty insignias, etc. for the period in other plane types. Last time I checked even the SBD Dauntless was missing - in the Pacific! Strange thing is that some of the missing types actually exist in SH3.

PBY's with British insignias (Catalinas, really).

I tried to transfer some of these into SH4. It worked but I wasn't able to make them behave properly.

My interest in this stems from creating cool life-like scenarios, lately as an aid to illustrate my "Saving MacArthur" book project.

An example below:

1, 2: Seaplane carrier IJN Chitose torpedoed outside Davao by USN Vindicators. Should have been the missing Devastator.

3: USS Bagley passing the sinking IJN Nagara in Bangka Sound, north-east Celebes

4. The SBD Dauntless is missing (my Hobby Master 1/72 diecast model).
