Game Events Discuss on Forum

Pilots!

On January 26, 1939, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 F Friedrich made its debut flight, and a day later, the Lockheed P-38J Lightning hit the skies for the first time as well.

Richard Ira Bong, one of the most effective American pilots, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of The Little Prince, both flew the P-38 Lightning. Moreover, it was the aircraft on which the American pilots destroyed the first German aircraft.

The appearance of the Friedrich on the Eastern Front was a real surprise for the Soviet pilots. The latter even believed that the Bf 109 F was a non-existent model of the Heinkel 113 renowned for its outstanding flight performance for that time.

Let's find out which aircraft will prove itself in action!
