Cavin Industries DB-3 Vicarstown

483 PilotBug  2.0 years ago

Hello everyone this is another aircraft from my fictional nation. This time it is a multi-role aircraft. And yes if you caught the reference in the name good on you (Vicarstown is a town in The Railway Series) I hope you enjoy, this is my most advanced description yet!

HISTORY:

in 1940 the Cavin air force wanted a new aircraft to replace the aging DB-2 and held a contest, the navy also wanted the same so they also decided to take part in judging the aircrafts.
In the end this aircraft was chosen.
After the war with the obsolescence of land based dive bombers it was phased out and nothing replaced it, however it continued use as a naval aircraft, along with ground attack which it had performed during WWII.
5 survive to this say with 2 being airworthy, and one awaiting restoration.

The instructions are in game and I hope you enjoy this aircraft
