Could you add the no. 71 “Eagles” Sqaudron to your Battle of Britain?

I can look into it. Bit of a PITA in that everything has to become American in Sept 1942.  Needs to be handled like the Lafayette squadron which is always a thorn in my side.  But doable.

You rock!

 

I can imagine what a pain it would be to code, but I love the storytelling!

P.S. I haven't looked, but does this mean you have the Lafayette squadron in PWCG for Flying Circus?

I do.  It converts to 103rd Aero.  I designate the squadron as an American squadron by nation but it starts as a member of the French l'Aviation Militaire.  Pilot names are based on nation.  Medals and ranks are based on service, not nation, so it works out.  When it converts to the 103rd Aero French ranks are replaced by American ones.  Medals stay.  The service changes to USAS and done.  I have to see how generic the processing is. The Eagle squadron just work by adding the JSON file, but can't guarantee that 100%.

I was about to jump in and try this... then I realized I still need FC Vol. 3 for the Nieuport 11!

Next sale!

If you have the N17 you can still do it, just start the campaign later.  The over wing Lewis N17 is introduced as early as April 1916.  The fuselage mounted N17 comes along in July 1916.

 

Edit: changes 1917 to 1916 for N17 start dates.
