LF-1

51.0k BeastHunter  3.1 years ago

The LF-1 (Lightweight Fighter Model 1) was designed in 1919 for the Coalition Air Force. After World War 1, the newly formed Coalition needed a lightweight fighter for their Air Force. The LF-1 prototype first flew in 1920, and it was soon implemented into combat. The airplane is built around the philosophy of having a big engine and little else. Despite having an immensely short range, weak armor, and low firepower, the speed and maneuverability more than make up for these flaws. The LF-1 stayed in service for several years with the Coalition.
