History Behind the FB-Mk.I
The FB-Mk.I was built around the 1940s when war was still ongoing, and it is the rarest types to fly into the sky. It was first built as an experimental plane with the cooperation with the two allied nations (US & UK) fighting in the war.
The agreement was made for the two allied nations to make the plane, which went into action at the time. The type is designated as the FB-Mk1 (FB - Flaming bird), which designed as a fighter aircraft with such a high speed.
The aircraft went to action throughout the war, but it I was expensive to build. However, only 200 made it to the skies, as it was expensive to manufacture the planes, and the factories which produced the planes were destroyed in action.
The planes manage to serve throughout the war, but only made it through the 1950s as jets made by. All of the planes were sent for scrap, but one of the type still exists. The Anderson family, who bought the aircraft, saved it, as a veteran was the one who flown the type.
The plane is named ”The Blazing Cat", as their veteran named him back then. It is now in hands with Anderson family in Britain, including Lumi (One of their children) loves to fly it most of the time, but they want to keep it for themselves, but never in the museum.
It is the request by the family's veteran, but the plane has seen better days. They still manage to keep it safe and sound from others who want to buy it, however some people want to keep it in the museum. Whatever happens with it, they'll still keep it safe nonetheless.
