Development: The A-14 also known as the "Shark" was one of the first planes to have been developed for the Iosian military during the second world war. It was also the predecessor to the A-16. It was a very capable fighter for the military until the newer advancements in technology, and they upgraded it where they could until they just made a new plane. For the longest time though, it was one of the best planes of the war, and the most manufactured since it was relativity easy to manufacture and repair, as they made it a fairly cheap and inexpensive plane in terms of materials. It rarely got shot down unless it was a less experienced pilot.

History: This plane was quite good for the time, and pretty fast compared to most others. The stability was quite impressive once up to speed, and its armament was more than adequate. It served for about 3 years in the war until it was almost completely replaced by the A-16, as that plane was capable of carrying 250lb and 500lb bombs. However where it lacked the ability to carry bombs and other items, it made up with maneuverability and killing efficiency. Many acted as interceptors as well, but mostly just fighters.
