1935 XVI Keg II D

Auto Credit Based on deusalgor's Challenge! 1900-1935 Fighters Championship!(Closed)

The Keg D was an improvement over the Keg C, B and A it used the aerodynamics of the keg racer built in 1931 to increase its top speed to over 300 mph whilst keeping a small lightweight engine, the weight was altered and the armament was revamped, as the 7 gunned keg C proved to have too much recoil for the pilots to handle, it also fixed stability and agility with rdesigned horizontal stabilizers and main wings!
The Keg D was developed around the same time as the Keg C but first flew a few months after its heavily armed counterpart, it entered service with the RAF in late 1935 and continued to serve whilst continuing to be upgraded untill 1946 (as a secondary line and export fighter) in some other air forces the keg D was not retired untill the late 1980's! Because it was so reliable and loved by its pilots for its speed and climb rate, although the plane was slightly unstable it was still fly able, and made many more aces than the keg C did, although it did not claim as many ground kills!

This particular aircraft is a first generation aircraft nicknamed, cailleach-oidhche mhรณr, in English, Eagle Owl
It came into service in 1935 and had the pilots who kept the name going after the first was KIA


Enjoy and sorry that the AI cannot fly it properly it flies drunk.
