In 1940, the Jeffersonian Navy was searching for a new fighter to replace the aging Booster F4B Bison, a monoplane development of the old F2 Mockingjay that was horribly inadequate for service even when first introduced. Because of the Bison's failings, the Canary was developed and placed into service.
It's a Wildcat! Best plane I've built so far, way better than my shitty DC9 biplane.

The US Navy fighter plane that bore the brunt of the early fighting against the Japanese in 1942. It faced a formidable foe against the Japanese A6M Zero fighter, but the subsequent F5F Hellcat tipped the aerial combat scales decisively in the Americans’ favour.

Today, there was an amazing clouds form over and nice showers across the city. Really a great relief from scorching summer hot.
