RAF S.E.5 Black Sparrow
The following storie is completely fictional and contains totally epic literature, reader discretion advised.. March 1919, pilot Sawyer James flies his S.E.5 over the Eastern front in search of enemy installments. Flying high, he spots a lone Albatross D.III below to the left, an easy kill. He expertly maneuvers his aircraft directly behind the prey, and fires a two second burst from his lewis machine gun, destroying th Albatross instantly into a ball of flame. His 7th kill. But something is not right... He hears a distant droning... and the fire of Spandau machine guns. Instinctivly, he preforms an Immelmen turn. To his horror, the enemy that attacked him was a squadron of 5 Fokker D.IIVs, considered to be the best plane of WW1. To be continued..........

@Supercraft888 Awesome! yeah i was having the tail problem too. also i made its top speed ~130 MPH because thats the real S.E.5a's top speed. you can find what happened to Sawyer on yet ANOTHER one of my albatross' lol.
Oh and also becuase you are only allowed 2 entries, I'm only grading he first two
Kinda had to reattach the back of the plane to the actual plane but that's okay.
