can we put together a petition to grumman? circulate it to all the modding sites and gather as many names as we can?

Something like:

We the undersigned are great fans of Grumman aircraft and would dearly love to see historic Grumman aircraft included in any future ad-ons of Storm Of War. Unfortunately Grumman copyright demands at present make this impossible. We feel Storm of War is a great educational tool and if Grumman were to lift its restrictons new generations would learn of the role Grumman played in fighting for freedom.

Pointless. The people who are responsible for that mess live in a world of economical gibberish, numbers and balance sheets. History or emotional values are meaningless to them.

One notable Avenger pilot was future American President George H. W. Bush, flying a TBM Avenger off the light aircraft carrier USS San Jacinto (CVL-30) in 1944.

Thinking of it - lets hope the remnants of Messerschmitt don't get bought by N-G. Then they will sue my ass badly for my avatar...

Fortunately for me the Messerschmitt brand seems to be owned by Daimler-Benz Aerospace and DB don't talk to much about their wartime efforts, or spend time on chasing small guys for pocket money like that...

That wouldn't happen, anyway, mazex. The press would be all over them and the outcry would be horrendous. EADS would get a helluva bad press and they're understandably interested in avoiding that.
