MH-161 Skywolf Streik

1,721 HBirdmanAATL  8.0 years ago

Scared by the rapid development of the PX-1B Wingblade Heavy and the PX-2B Swallow Tail Ultralight Germany rushed this new version of the Skywolf into production. It was a disaster. While the considerable speed improvement initially thwarted allied efforts, it was quickly found that the plane was unstable in a close quarters dogfight and could be simply out-maneuvered by the slower prop driven aircraft.
