The Pacific War is booming, and a plane is being drawn up for the upcoming battle of Okinawa.

A fledgling engineering company by the name of Orion Aeronautics came up with a carrier launched attack fighter armed with 8 cannons and 10 rockets. It's main role was protecting the dive bombers on their way to the enemy's carriers. It's name? The A-4 Skywolf, by the way it dominated the skies.

No fancy controls, but the flares are meant to be tracers.

Big credit to my absolute chad of a friend (MrMelancology, go check him out) for making me intelligent enough to do fuselage wings and for allowing me to yoink his fuselage that he designed.

Also, this is my first plane so this is pretty cool.
