Morane Saulnier L
Unfortunately french
The Morane-Saulnier L, or Morane-Saulnier Type Lwas a French parasol wing one or two-seat scout aeroplane of the First World War. The Type L became one of the first successful fighter aircraft when it was fitted with a single machine gun that fired through the arc of the propeller, which was protected by armoured deflector wedges. Its immediate effectiveness in this role launched an arms race in fighter development, and the Type L was swiftly rendered obsolete. The original Type L used wing warping for lateral control, but a later version designated Type LA was fitted with ailerons.

This version is a mix of the two versions, it uses flaps (because simpleplanes wing physics can't bend) but it is also a recon variant.
