One Day Over Wonsan

"One Day Over Wonsan" is a joke which grew out of all proportion. With apologies to Jason Low, when I've read his "Live! ...", I thought: "Good heavens, thanks for not letting us know what flap setting Kagura used when she did a straight-in into BNE on to runway 19." Then it occured to me, what if a fic were written which used every little idiotic detail about aircraft performance in order to overshadow heroes completely?

The setting is completely ridiculous, too. For instance, Yomi can never pass a medical for a fighter because of her vision. But as I was writing, I got into the fic. And when positive reviews started coming... You get the picture.

• "One Day Over Wonsan" master (text format)
• Backup copy of "Live! ...". Jason is prone to dropping off the Net, so here's a copy of his fanfic rather than a link. Do read, it's good. (link)
• B-29 over Wonsan. This is a picture by Max D. Nelson, taken on October 24, 1951. (link) (reproduced without permission - no reply). It shows the general ambience of the Wonsan area as seen from the air. Yomi and Tomo flew at about 4000 ft MSL and the time of engagement, which is rather lower than the work altitude of B-29s.
• F-2 "Blue 503". This is a promotional photo from JASDF website, which is often linked and copied. Actual aircraft flown by Yomi and Tomo was camouflaged and carried various stores such as drop tanks, bombs, and AIM-9L at wingtips. But this should give a general idea.
• Iranian MiG-29 shooting. Note the puffs of smoke that trail the airplane.
