Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China Mission Nine - Return to Mingaladon

On January 12th, 1942, the Japanese forces launched their Burma campaign. Though significantly outnumbered, the AVG and RAF aircraft based at Mingaladon inflicted outsized losses on the IJAAF attackers. The British radar operating at Mingaladon helped with early warning of incoming attacks.


By mid-February though, only ten P-40s were still operational at Mingaladon. The RAF would begin retreating and pull their radar equipment out by the end of February, forcing the remaining Flying Tigers to withdraw to bases in northern Burma.

This mission has some of the craziest cockpit hopping of anything in the game. Start in a Blenheim coming in for a landing, swap to a Hurricane, jump back into a Blenheim's turret, then finally into a P-40E to finish out. At least there's no shortage of variety.
