PAC P1A Eagle -WW1 Challenge

25.2k JohnnyBoythePilot  7.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on DbE's WW1 challenge (finished)

Re-upload of my first Pavelanian-canon design, the PAC P1A Eagle first flew in 1917, and is my first and only design that was designed and built in the last days of WWI. The P1A Eagle never participated in WWI, but it did play a major role during the beggining years of the North Atlantic War which started in 1920. This is purely a re-upload of my old P1A (compare the P1A to my recent P2A to see just how much I've improved) that has minor things added like the pilot. Other than that the plane is the exact same.

After the WWI challenge ends, this plane/post will be deleted.

AG-1 = Landing Lights
Trigger = twin .50 cal M2 Browning Machine Guns

    Thank you! This is one of my first designs, which my style has definitely improved since my P1 Eagle Series. Now I'm on my second design, the P2 Dragonfly, which is a transport plane (cargo/passenger) and a bomber. I just can't believe this has gotten 40+ downloads! Thats the most I've ever gotten! I posted this plane long ago which didn't get as many downloads, but now I simply re-uploaded it under the WW1 Challenge name and it gets 40+ downloads! Thanks guys!
