Extrordinary!! Just re-read "Ploesti" by James Dugan and Carol Stewart, the history of 'Tidal Wave', the low-level attack on the Romanian oil refinery at Ploesti, north of Bucharest on 1st August 1943. First read it when it was first published in 1962, when I was 17. The FR B24D includes the 98th Bomb Group's 'Sandman' featured in one of the defining images of the raid, hurdling the stacks at the Astro Romana plant. One day I'll do a few others.

A few more from FSX, a few people might not like this first H shot but I love it.
