Be Sure to Look at Both the KP-7A and the KP-7B! They both have different "War Stories" tied to their post!
The DTC was known to be up to decades ahead of the rest of the world in their Aviation technology, but nowhere else was this more apparent than during the Second World War. Ever since the fighting began in Pacifica, the DTC knew they had to step up their aircraft, and in the year of 1942 they did it. The KP-7 (Killing Plane 7) series of aircraft were comparable to the 2nd generation of fighters, created by the ever brilliant James Federal Company, the KP-7 was a force to be reckoned with in the Second World War, with a blistering speed that broke the sound barrier and early missiles in its armament. The KP-7A Variant has a slightly weaker engine along with smaller wings and elevators and was designed for the Democratic Territories Air Force. The KP-7B Variant of the KP-7 has slightly larger wings and elevators, it also has an arresting hook, this variant was adapted by the Democratic Territories Navy. The KP-7 during the course of the war managed to get more air to air kills than the other top 2 aircraft combined. The KP-7 all in all was remarkably effective during the war, and even some time after it, with the USSR not catching up until later on during the 60s.
War Stories:
In the Liberation of Deseret, Captain Galveston Williamson of the Democratic Territories Air Force dedicated himself in the evacuation and protection of all non-combatants from the hostile Japanese Forces with his KP-7A, famously, Galveston would regularly use ancient Pacifican ruins in order to house refugees and civilians. Without much to do other than sit around, those under the protection of Captain Williamson would routinely restore the ruins, preserving the story of those unknown and forgotten, and the stories of themselves. The cultural contributions of Williamson far outweigh any combat accomplishments which he had, Williamson was raised in an environment where he’d struggle to save enough for a meal, though there was always something that his parents would spoil their children with; knowledge, Williamson spent much of his youth reading stories of the Pacifican warriors which fought for glory and freedom. During the Liberation of Deseret Williamson would normally be seen reciting Pacifican war prayers before battle, and like those Pacifican warriors, Williamson died fighting for those who couldn’t, in a dogfight against 4 Japanese pilots, Williamson couldn’t keep up, losing control of his KP-7A, he soon crashed into the hard rock below. Williamson’s legacy has been immortalized in the Deseretan Capital of New Jerusalem, the DTC’s largest Pacifican Territory, Kawinawa.
