Following the end of the second world war, as the state of Israel was formed - Jewish volunteers from around the world flocked to Israel to see to it that the state was formed & secured in every way. Pilots with experience earned in the skies over Europe and the Pacific both found themselves in the seat of Czech-built Messerschmitt Bf-109s, powered by sketchy-at-best engines originally destined for bombers.

In the ultimate irony - perhaps the most famous firebrand of Hitler's Luftwaffe became the sword of the Jewish state - against Egyptian Spitfires over the contested skies of the mid-east.

Based on reference photography of an IAF 101st Bf-109G(6??) in livery for aircraft #112, Israel, 1947

This is a collection of five skins representing the Second Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam (1969).  The skins included represent five Troops (the cavalry name for "companies"):
    Headquarters Troop (has a guidon by the pilot's door)
    A Troop    (Identified by the red band on the tail boom)
    B Troop (White band)
    C Troop    (Blue Band)
    F Troop (Orange Band)

Note: The B Troop skin in this pack is slightly different from the 2/17 B Troop skin in my Medal of Honor Skin Pack.  Be sure to get that pack as well if you want even more varied skins for the 101st Airborne Division.
