Attack by Fleet Air Arm, Swordfish on the Italian Fleet at Taranto The balance of maritime power in the Mediterranean was transformed at a stroke by the British air attack which disabled three Italian battleships in a few minutes. The target was the core of Mussolini's fleet, tucked away in Taranto Harbour, in southern Italy.

The attack, codenamed Operation Judgement, took place in bright moonlight by twenty-one Swordfish from the British carrier HMS Illustrious. In the confined space of the harbour, their torpedoes had a devastating impact, at least nine torpedoes struck their targets. In all, seven ships were severely damaged, including the battleship Caio Duilio, Littorio and Conte Di Cavour.

Not bad. I think the Swordfish needs a little more work though. Looks more like a Blenheim in shot 5.

It was in stealth mode..who would worry about a Blenheim?

Lots of people when it's got the machinegun pack slung underneath.

All very nice, but are we ever going to see the finished sim

A firm release date for Phase I "June 1940 - December 1941" has been agreed to & set by the team.

It will be announced in a few days when the MAW web site is updated with a great deal of new info.

Finally, we are adding Version 4.0 flight & damage models to the Phase I planes as fast as we can.

Hehe, wait a moment. I put only some colors on the textures. The true Taranto artist is Zipo (Pietro Zazzetta).
