Reginald (not to be confused with Reginald Matheaus Hattenbrah): 3
You are in a Close air support fighter, meant for harassing targets on the ground. It will do well enough in the air, but you might have a little bit of difficulty lining up shots in your sluggish plane.
Armament: twin 30 mm guns.
Payload: 2 50 pound bombs.
Respawn: 4
You manage to steal one (and unfortunately, only one) of the Nazi scouting aircraft, Crashing feet-first through the cockpit window, and crushing the pilot inside. The dying body of the nazi pilot cushions your fall to make it survivable, but still bloody painful. Your new plane has no weapons, but it has a large canopy, giving you a great view of the battle. There is also lots of German chatter on the short-range radio this plane is equipped with.
Armament: none
Payload: A dead german
Bear: 1
Landing in enemy planes has almost become routine to you by this point, but it seems luck finally ran out on you. A piece of debris from your last collision falls straight through you, cutting you in two. Your death was painless, and legend has it, your story went on to inspire a video game called "Just Cause".
Arnold: 2
You come around for a second pass, but the enemies had seen you before, and were ready for you. They learned to lead their target while firing at you, and turret fire from a nearby flat bomber peppers your hull. You take evasive maneuvers, and exit the fray. You are still flying, but one of your engines failed. You cut your speed to avoid a flat spin, and get ready to rejoin the fight.
Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz: 6
Seeing Arnold getting shot sent you in such a rage that you press the trigger down, and spray indiscriminately into the Nazi hoard. Your shots hit the leader of a squadron of Nazi dive bombers, disabling its engines, causing the plane behind him to clip their wings together. The two out-of-control dive bombers hit every other member of their squadron, sending a fiery ball of sharp metal raining down towards the ground. A few allied planes were caught in the destruction as well, joining the mass of debris and death. In total, 6 nazi dive bombers, and 5 allied planes were destroyed by your actions.
