    Not having a carrier based flyable torpedo bomber for either side is the biggest problem with this excellent addition to the IL2 series.
    Can someone in command tell us if the "Avenger" will become flyable?

    A lot of aircraft and boats have been found at the bottom of the Atlantic, but as far as I know, flight 19 has yet to be found. In 1991, five Avengers were found, but the serial numbers did not match any of those in flight 19. There is much speculation as to what happened, they may have flown well out into the Atlantic or they may have turned around and ended up in the Gulf of Mexico. The area of a possible crash site is so large that finding them is more likely to be the result of pure accident rather than by a concerted effort.

    LMAO Maple_Tiger that might be a cool one to do. Then we could find all 5 of the originals by flying their route.

    Now we've gotta ask Oleg for a map of the "Triangle". <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Negative, however, they did find 5 Avengers. It turned to be another flight.
