History
During ww2 wolf island needed to make a modernized fighter to replace it’s aging biplane fleet. Plans were made in 1940 to build turboprop fighter and the first prototype of the whirlpool flew in 1941. A month passed and production variants were being put into service. They never saw combat until 5 years after the war in 1950 where it saw combat defending wolf island from the Arctican military in the Arctic invasion of wolf island where it succeeded at defending wolf island’s airspace against the battle hardened pilots of the Arctican airforce. It was put in reserves in 1956 when it was replaced by the ST-114 in main service.
