XFE-205 reconnaissance plane

Doesn't like taking off, so start in the air. Be gentle landing it, too.

Employed in mid august, 1941, the 29 XFE-205 prototypes were baptized by fire. Using an odd asymmetrical design allowed a large cabin for cameras. Of the prototypes, 17 were shot down. 3 of the remaining planes were scrapped, and used for the ill-fated "People's jet" programme.

Armament:
3x 12.7mm Machine guns

Based on BV-141
