    @ThomasRoderick Unfortunately not, Dieswen (Germany) didn't really have a good footing in air dominance until the tail end of the war, The closest would be Lucas Steinhäuser, who only had 35 aircraft kills before he was shot down, however, he piloted a captured NADF Valkyrie

    Hmmm... Are there any fictional characters similar to the Red Baron in your AU?

    @jamesPLANESii Thank you!, that's very peculiar because when I fly it, it's exceptionally stable, are you flying on high physics?

    Looks real nice! Although it has barely any lateral stability and is almost impossible to fly straight...
