YOUR UNIT HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO TEST REPUBLIC'S NEW XP72 EXPERIMENTAL PURSUIT
AIRCRAFT.  THE XP72 HAS INCORPORATED THE R-4360 3450 HP 18 CYLINDER PRAT & 
WHITNEY DOUBLE WASP ENGINE.  WITH THIS NEW ENGINE THE XP72 WILL HAVE A TOP 
SPEED OF 490MPH, WHICH IS A GOOD 60MPH FASTER THEN THE P47D.  IT HAS BEEN 
DETERMINED THAT THE HIGH ALTITUDE PERFORMANCE CAN BE IMPROVED WITH THE 
INCORPORATION OF A EXTERNAL SUPER CHARGER SCOOP.  THE PLANES THAT YOUR UNIT 
WILL BE TESTING HAS NOT YET INCORPORATED THE EXTERNAL SUPERCHARGER SCOOP, BUT
IF YOUR UNIT APPROVES OF THE AIRCRAFT THEN IT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE 
PRODUCTION MODEL.  YOUR UNITS MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO DETERMINE BETWEEN THE TWO 
DIFFERENT ARMAMENT ARRANGEMENTS.  ONE ARMAMENT ARRANGEMENT INCORPORATES SIX 
20MM CANNONS AND THE SECOND INCORPORATES FOUR 37MM CANNONS.  THERE ARE SOME 
SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR ALL P47D PILOTS!  THIS XP72 CAN EXCEED 600MPH IN A DIVE 
AND ALL PILOTS ARE WARNED TO WATCH OUT FOR EXCESSIVE DIVE SPEEDS!  IT HAS BEEN
