After the invention of the Wright Flyer in 1895, the Elson Flyer began production by Jeremiah Elson. This plane was very manueverable, moreso than Britain's "Old Bertie" or Germany's Albatros DR.XIX. On top of this, the plane was very easy to manufacture than any other plane due to its extremely simplistic design and low production cost. Despite its size, the plane had an average weight. However, this came at a price. The method used for reducing the weight was to remove 2/3 of the aircraft interior frame, leaving just enough of the frame to hold the plane together. The steel "outer frame" has no interior frame itself, holding itself together through rivets connecting the rods. Though the structure was weak, it wouldn't ever break as a result of excessive speed or manuevering. However, it would easily break as a result of collision with anything solid, and at high enough speeds water as well. It performed poorly in combat with its weak structure, but pilots created a manuever that involved evading gunfire whilst approaching the enemy head-on, then passing the enemy and turning around to fire upon them. This tactic worked quite well, and against German ace pilots, Elson Flyer pilots would use swarm tactics to overwhelm the enemy. As for its armament, it is typically armed with a fixed Machine Rifle M1892 with a large drum magazine, though many ace pilots would rearm it with an M3 Machine Gun or even a D.R.U.M. Autocannon at the cost of increased weight so they could devastate the enemy like the infantry, who were equipped with such weapons to give thesmelves a massave advantage that devastated the Germans and left the British & French in awe. Also the wings are made of canvas for better lift and manueverability. They have a full frame, unlike the rest of the plane.
