Default Wildcats, Yellow dogs and Batmen: the fauna of a WWII USN flattop

So for years, those flying IL2 Pacific had the disgrace to land on motionliess, lifeless flatops sitting like yellow ducks in the middle of a beautifully rendered and textured nowhere (But I hve to admit that the Midways Island where the best rendered in Aviation Sim World).

But what was really like about landing on those big carriers during WWII ? Who were those yellow dogs, young men wearing red or blue outfits and the comics dressed like Batman ?

May be you would have an interested look to the video bellow (again from user ZenosWarbirds on Youtube)




Enjoy !
