My first plane :D

Took inspiration from the Stuka

The Horsa was developed out of necessity during the First Border War where Ostenia's fighters were found to be outdated compared to the aircraft used by the Entente. Armed with a Dortmund 20mm Autocannon, twin Helkka 7.62 HMG's and armed with a MK.2 bomb, the plane was designed to be a fighter and a dive bomber in one package. The first prototype was tested in September 21, 924 just 5 months after the war started and was officially adopted only 2 months later.

The first image was taken by Rudolf Wittenburough during an air attack by the Ostenian 1st Air Division on the South West Entente Fleet. In the image a Horsa presumably the squad leader of the 26th Aerial Squadron nicknamed the "Deer Boys" is being bait for his other members to drop their payload and retreat. Soon after this photo was taken, his plane crashed into the superstructure of the Entente's lead destroyer.

The second image was taken by a photographer sitting in the radar operator's seat of the flight leader during a dive bomb on a Entente radio communications bunker. The Horsa belonged to the 21st Aerial Squadron nicknamed the "Boomers".

The final image was taken during the same raid on the South West Entente Fleet with the Horsa belonging to the 14th Aerial Squadron the "Couch Lads" with the image taken by a radio operator sitting in Horsa 204 nicknamed "Clockwork".
