The mission in this video is one that I made using the FMB tool in IL-2 1946, using VPModpack. It is a recreation of a historical event that took place over Tarawa on Sept. 18th, 1943.
This event happened a couple of months prior to the "Battle of Tarawa", which occurred in November of 1943. This mission was considered a recon/bombing mission. The purpose of it was to ascertain what strengths and weaknesses the Japanese had on the island at that time, and to destroy as many aircraft and other assets as possible, in preparation for the assault that was planned for November.
You can download this mission and play it yourself from the "Mission4Today" website. It's title on that website is, "F6F Tarawa 1943". You'll be flying as the leader of two flights of F6F-3 Hellcats, escorting 2 flights of SBD bombers.
In this particular fly through, I managed 6 air to air kills, 9 ground kills, and 1 supply ship before I ran out of ammo. I hope you enjoy watching it.
