The original plane

Esteban Petersen was the first air Ace to use a MeGetEs plane to achieve it's Ace status coincidentally he helped in the design and test of it before the war.

Pre-war history

He was born the December17th of 1893, his full name was Esteban Joaquin Petersen, he had a sister Sofia Elena Petersen, thanks to the wealth of his family he had a happy childhood whit an excellent education, when some days after his 10th birthday he discovered that the first ever propelled flight happened the same day as his birthday, obviously being a 10th years old he was really excited by this so he decided to became an airplane designer or at least pilot.
He never thought he would become both, father his 18 birthday (1911), whit the advice of his father, Hector Petersen a somewhat successfull car manufacturer, he founded a association whit Mecarvis Furtzon and Getsan Hastle two other foreign engineers founded MeGetEs company, the order of the names was based on the wealth of each member, after the creation the first project was to create something that could fly, this first glider was called the butterfly, it was relatively simple but it accomplished it's goal of at least don't fall like a rock, this was also the first Esteban's flight, from now on he would not only help with the design but also was one of the test pilots.
After some time experimenting they tried to convince military officers that planes would be the future of warfare, for this reason they present an final face prototype of the MeGetEs 001, it was armed and ready to fly, the pilot for that flight was Esteban since he was the more experience pilot of the company, although the officers admitted that they were impressed with the aircraft the doubt that such a machine would ever find a place in the battlefields.

The Great War

In 1914 tow month after the the meeting, an incident occurred one regiment of soldier from the Outer League cross accidentally the borders of the Red Union, this skyrocket the already high tension between the two, both preparing for the worst fortified their frontiers when the war unfortunately unfolds both sides were trapped on a attrition war, so both tried the same tactic ask to the Green Nation, were the MeGetEs company was located, if they armies could pass through its frontiers to lunch a surprise attack at each other, logically the Green Nation respond sending the letter of the other belligerent and a declaration stating that if an army of any of the tow pats were to cross the frontier they would consider it as a war declaration, this message was intentionally delayed to give more time to the nation to prepare it's defenses, as it was expected neither of them believe the history of the other side asking for the same and they both attack the Green Nation despite having an already big front going on in to each other, Due this the tree head members of the MeGetEs company decided to pause it's activity of creating planes and join the army, they all get assigned to different units Mecravis was assigned as a commander of an artillery regiment, Getsan was assigned as corporal in an engineers company and Esteban was assigned to the same engineers company as Getsan.
Once the position were set in the high command became aware that the old cavalry scout were outdated and useless on a position type of war, so one day they came up whit the idea of using aircraft's as scout, so the people that had experiencexperience making planes were allowed to leave the front to focus in creating and improving aircraft's, so the three were back on the road, but a problem surge, the enemies also had aircraft's, and the only thing that could take down an aircraft was other aircraft, so the history start here.
After this Esteban decided to rejoin the military as a pilot, he was allowed to use he's own plane the MeGetEs 001 as in the time the only thing that the commanders want was someone whit an aircraft that could shoot down others and he was already familiar with it so it was allowed, they also allowed to him that if he wasn't on active duty he could go to his company place an keep creating planes.
He was assigned as a captain for his previous experience flying
