War in The Pacific Aviation Roster

All,

So, I've gone off the deep end.  I was going to follow a US Marine fighter squadron throughout the war in the Pacific, just like my rifle platoon.  But I figured I've already gone outside the realm of US Marines (see the naval battles I've done recently) so I may as well keep going, and when I was thinking about following the exploits of some fighter pilots, it suddenly occurred to me that some inter-service rivalry to see who gets the most kills could be a good bit of fun.

So I've decided to follow not one US Marine fighter squadron, but three fighter squadrons, one Marine, one Navy, and one Army Air Corps.  The Marine and Navy squadrons will begin the war in F4F Wildcats, while the Army will start in P-40 Warhawks.  The Marines will graduate to F4U Corsairs, the Navy to F6F Hellcats, and the Army to P-38 Lightnings.  All three squadrons will begin the war based in the Dutch East Indies (arriving there after Pearl Harbor and the initiation of War Plan Orange, of course).  With the fall of Java the three squadrons will evacuate: the Army will go to Australia and fight in the vicinity of New Guinea, the Marines to Guadalcanal, and the Navy to various aircraft carriers.

Each squadron is pared down quite a bit in order for me to get the pilots more sorties in fewer games, so each squadron only has six named pilots; well, changed rules, so that's not true anymore...
