Oh, I agree kristorf. And I hope that we go to the Med before the Pacific.

I was just showing that a Pacific Theatre expansion was not out of the question, though most think that the Pacific was only about carriers and blue painted aircraft. They are wrong of course.

The campaign in New Guinea was the most trying aerial campaign in the entire Pacific area, for both sides. Unlike a carrier action, the New Guinea Campaign went on for years, not days.
