Bring on the month of August! With it we have a brand new calendar of Special Events, starting off with August 1st and a Snapshot for your entertainment and challenge.
On the 3rd we have a FSO (Friday Squad Operation) and this is Frame 1 featuring the Battle Over Munich. It is sure to be a test of wills and prowess so make sure you sign up and get yourselves prepared.
Special Events are a great way to become more involved with Aces High, the best combat flight simulator on the market.
Aces High has a new version….the 2.28 Version and it is available for download now.
Besides the usual fine-tuning that we always do on new versions, this one has an updated Ju 87D 3D and also a brand new Me 410 has been added.
Listen, we have been the best online flight simulator for thirteen years and we plan on staying at the top. In order to do that we have to constantly improve our game. We hope you approve of the changes!
Today we are going to take a look at the airfields that were built in Louisiana during World War 2. We do this because at Aces High we are all about World War 2 information. History feeds us and our passion is that great war. It was the inspiration behind Aces High and our passion is the reason why Aces high remains the number one combat flight simulator on the market.
During the war effort here at home, these airfields were built in Louisiana:
- Moisant Army Airfield; now is Louis Armstrong new Orleans International Airport
- Harding Army airfield; now Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport
- New Orleans Army Airbase; now New Orleans Lakefront Airport
- Alexandria Army airfield; now Alexandria International Airport
- Esler Army airfield; now Esler Regional Airport
- Lake Charles Army Airfield; now Chennault International Airport
- DeRidder Army Airbase; now beauregard Regional Airport
As we have mentioned in other articles about this subject, these airfields were instrumental in the war effort. Without this incredible effort by civilians and armed forces personnel, there would have been no training facilities for flight crews and pilots. Once schooled properly, these brave men were then shipped off to Europe and the Pacific to do battle during the war.
The other remarkable thing about these airfields is that seventy years later they are still being used for mostly civilian uses. Talk about a great return on your investment!
Practically every state in the Union had airfields built during the period from 1941-1945, a massive effort at home to prepare for the war. Millions of dollars were poured into the war effort and most of these airfields were constructed in mere months. Add to that the naval facilities and ground forces facilities that were constructed and you see an incredible transformation of the American landscape, all happening in a very short time period. Once the American military establishment was awakened the full force of the industrial giant was harnessed, there was no turning back the United States.
So here we are now, with Aces High, and is it any wonder why this flight sim game has been on top for thirteen years. Our attention to detail was honed because of our love and study of World War II. Our World War 2 Flight Simulator is as close as you can come to actually flying some of the great aircraft from that time period.
