Thanks very much.

U-boat U-30 makes the first kill of the war. even as the Morgana strike elsewhere, U-30 hasn't begun to fight that war yet. I tried putting the story in the post itself but pasting it in messes up the formatting something awful so I'll just be placing the Goggle Docs link here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AeExIT8iZc8NbrzXWvcC6lfzbr4Tq0CeQCCTUjDVWuM/edit# Be sure to read the Author's Notes at the end of the story for some of the real world history behind the story.

Heh, well neither was he

If he's hunting heretics, better hope he doesn't have any of the Spanish belles with him. Nobody will expect them.

After the first run, try listening to it again at 1.25 times speed.

Oh, I thought you said "Asterix"

I managed to beat it twice. The hardest level for me was the fortress. I beat it once with the F-16 and once with the F-15 from what I remember. This music comes from the game's ending scene on the moon. Still not sure how those planes could fly in a vacuum but whatever, it was cool.

It's not quite Ace Combat, but Aerofighter's Assault was the first console flight combat game I owned, and this track has stuck in my mind forever. Such a beautiful piece.

Song about a guy who got shot 10 times, once in the head, and lived to tell about it.

Totally worth it.

Yeah and those weren't Corsairs either, they were Hellcats. The video is from an animated WW 2 anthology film called "The Cockpit" based on Leiji Matsumoto's manga: Battlefield.
