The Sky Front - The Hunt - 6.1 - The Beginnings At the beginning of the last century, Italy was a less industrialized country, and this situation was reflected in the equipment of its armed forces. When the conflict broke out in Europe, the air services of the Royal Army and Royal Navy had few aircr...
Google Translation of the archived Italian website (in several parts) 1915 When war was declared, the Austro-Hungarian Air Force was not caught by surprise and immediately began its first reconnaissance and bombing raids. The same was true of the Italian Air Force, which in the first month of the wa...
I finally got around to checking. Mine says 22011 in the file name. I guess that's the date but seems kinda old. Also, while searching for it I came across three WWI zip files. One is a set of screens, another is a target set and the third is a WWI German tank. I put copies in your folder on the of...
Just checking in to say I m still working on target locations. I have a more or less complete list of French bases from here: http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escadrille/page_escadrilles_1_a_500.htm ... and British, Belgian, and German bases from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20151120020735/http:/...

Italian/Austrian aircraft not a priority at the moment. Something we can look to down the line, but I will put in some relevant targets down there. I did have some that way in my original 1940 setup.
I'm going to proceed by compiling a list of relevant bases and targets for each of the periods.
Jel says: "...From what I recall this was a script file for online play. It was made by a utility which allowed the user to select the friendly primary and secondary bases, and the enemy primary and secondary bases. This allowed nearby pairs to be used for each side, making it easier for escort...
With the start of World War I Britain accelerated the expansion of its seaplane carrier fleet. Within days of entering the war, the Admiralty requisitioned three fast Channel packets for conversion. Unlike the vessels converted by most other nations these vessels were fast, with top speeds of 18 to ...
Only the Royal Navy had aircraft carriers during World War I – ships capable of operating aircraft with conventional landing gear. Furious, the first, was joined by two more by war’s end. HMS Argus, joined the fleet on 14 September 1918. HMS Vindictive was commissioned on 9 October 1918. Very differ...
This is the target layout that the original TWF gang set up: (not sure what those targets in the channel are. Suspect they were spare bases which were going to be used elsewhere) http://mogggy.org/pictures/TWFtargetlayout2.jpg As you can see the bases and target locations are very close together in ...
