Game Play
1st ACG’s premier mission was on Valentine’s Day 1944, when 13 P-51’s led by Cochrane escorted B-25’s to attack Japanese installations at a place called Zaundaing. While strafing the target, the ACG fighters were “bounced’ by the old Burma hands of the 50th Sentai, flying Ki43 Hayabusas. The ACG was taught a lesson by these veterans, as 2 Mustangs went down and 3 were damaged.
