Flight Simulators

Today we continue our World War 2 timeline by taking a look at March of 1944.  By this time of the war the momentum had clearly swung in favor of the Allies, and even though there was fierce fighting, the ultimate outcome of the war was not in doubt.  The full industrial might of the United States was churning out weapons and support material at unprecedented numbers, and Germany and Japan simply could not keep pace.  The end was near but there was still a whole lot of fighting left to do.
