The Dragon-class Type 3 biplane fighter was a late war, WWI design. It fixed the issues with the previous type (lack of wing-strength and hard to aim machineguns) as well as included a stronger engine. This new form of [Fire Stone] incline-inline [Magic] engine was capable of outputting a whopping 450 hp pulling the plane along at around 170 mph. That's right. A biplane that could catch a B-17 with a full bombload in level flight. Not that it ever fought B-17s or could fly up that high. Armed with three nose mounted 7.7 Chatta MGs, it proved more than a match for the few German fighters it fought against before WWI ended.
