Auto Credit Based on OwO's Biplane Challenge!

Reportedly first plane in aircraft history to win a duel by shooting down an enemy, on October 5 1914
here and here the story
Don't bother for Vtol / Trim controls, they just move the Hotchkiss machine gun ( so to say since it's a quite common wing MG, had nothing better )

This is NOT the real thing, i'm not good enough for such replicas, but looks fine and flies good and credible for a WW I fighter/bomber and that's it

PS
I'm over with it and fully satisfied, but if someone is so smart/kind to add a dummy depicting Joseph Frantz and / or Louis Quénault i'll be glad to upvote or whatever, guess some xml is required
