War Thunder Division 11th Anniversary

War Thunder Division History
Division stood up as a trial on 29th of April 2013.
We became a full time division of AOD on 18th of May 2013.
Our 1st in-game squadron was created 12th of June 2013 as Squadrons weren't in the game at launch.
We have a total of 5 in-game squadrons.
A comment from our 1st XO B1ackBishop:
"I'd like to add something to the War Thunder history in regards to a member I'm not sure many know about. Khc196 was a CmdSgt at the time DraigUK (1st CO) and myself were trying garner interest in War Thunder's trail division. This was way back when War Thunder was not well known, well before it even dreamt of having ground vehicles (much less ships). Khc wasn't really very active in WT but for some reason, he enjoyed our antics and it was very common for him to jump into channel and shoot the shit with us. I wouldn't say he was the only reason for War Thunder to have made it to a full time division, but he had faith in us (a hand full of people) and really pushed for that difficult transition from trail to full time. Few requested game divisions are/were (I still think "are") given a trail status and even fewer manage to make it to full time. It was all about getting people interested and playing the game, and that wasn't easy starting from scratch. So I just wanted to give a shout out to Khc196, for the recognition he also deserves. Although he didn't really play the game much, he really help push start this division when it started out."
A Comment from DieOlleScholle, former War Thunder Sgt:
"I want to thank Nimvlar, Danneskjold, WeDGe, WhaleCo and P_A_G_A_N who have all helped me out with their incredible memory of the early days of our division and BoomBoom who dug through the Sergeant archives and compiled a lot of the promotion dates"
