Yes, it is.  I think it would be an interesting contribution the Aces High plane collection.

yeah, we havent got any french planes...

I'd like to see the Fokker D-XXI too, afcourse it's only a plane dating from the Battle of Brittain, but it's very capable in his classe I think

I say the Fokker G-1 would be nice too. Maybe even better than the XXI, since it did perform well at it's time. It didn't see much action though. Most of them were killed on the ground.

 lol.  A medium bomber with extra high pressurisation equipment? The best I've seen for this bird is 366mph. Seems someone on a website must have forgotten his kmh to mph conversion.

Oed


If so, two different web sites made identical error :)

I've heard that the G-1 was referred to as the "Reaper" or "Mower" from the damage it inflicted on attacking German bombers in 1940.  It had armament of numerous light machine guns, similar to or greater than the Spitfire or Hurricane, and might be considered somewhat like a Mossie.
