    History:

    The Beowulf is a joint arms creation between the island nation of Krackatoa, US, Britan, and Australia, in lew of the Japanese attack on pearl Harbor. After a two year fight and a small scuffle off the Island called Avalanche. The Krackatoan Republic sought out help from the US and her Allies to upgrade their aging fleet of pre-war biplane. While they where having Much success in defense on the ground. Their early war AA and Air craft where a separate story. It took less then 8 months to create the P- 13 A, a single piston engine early war fighter for the Krackatoans. They launched with 15 squadrons fully built, and took to the air with a nation at their back, but do to the Japanese Maneuverability High climb and dive rate with small turning radius The Beowulf was more then not a sitting duck and survival rate had plummeted but, After they had adopted the US strategy of running away or hit and run the Beowulf began to show its worth. And by the Year of 1940 the Mk 2s B and C fighters began to out pace more of the Japanese flying zeros... out climbing them and breaking the turn battles they where so easily defeated in. And by 1942 the Japanese the ones who where dominant in the first half of the war began to lose pace. The F version of the Beowulf came into action fully out of trials in 1943 4 years before the war finally eneded. After the Jet age had taken main stage the Beowulf became an adapt Air attack plane..hence the destination Prisuit Attack Fighter. Yet sadly once the war had ended in 1947 the old and aging Plane had one last Sortie and was placed in bone yards. Out of the thousands that where built and fielded only 10 exists, and only 3 (two from private collections) are still working and Flight capable. 5 where found in different parts of the world shot down or forgotten from different theater's while 2 are placed on display at the Krackatoan Museum of war time flight. But the Widow Maker is one of the few who still Flies in Demonstrations around the globe as does her pilot Mika Utoka who is now 98 (The first Krackatoan Ace of Aces with 400 kills
