Expanding Mediterranean theatre could result in interesting scenarios and career. An Italian pilot will start on the blue side, and could switch to red after September 8th 1943. Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force flew mainly Spitfire V, P39Q and Martin Baltimore… And just the latter would be needed.

And while no perfect solution, with a little creative leeway, an A-20 could be used as a substitute - should be close enough. Maps would still be needed. With maybe Sicily and another North Africa map, which I think were posted here as WIP this could go a long way. And there was an absolutely fun campaign playing Battle of Malta using some Japanese islands. So Malta map would be a real treat - and that battle lasted for quite some time.
