January 9th, 1919

A roar rips trough Lake Constance as a strange vehicle starts moving across the lake. Suddenly as if by magic the wingless vehicle starts rising above the waves. With a massive roar the vehicle streaks across the lake. Witnesses are stunned and mystified by this strange apparition and rumors begin flying of the Lake Constance monster...

Not a Flashback

Tel Aviv, Evening April 1st

Lieutenant Commander Hans Brinks observed the booming city of Tel Aviv from the bridge of the NSS Civet. Ten years ago, while a fresh of the academy 2nd Lieutenant he had sailed into this very port aboard the NSS Pegasus just before her famous raid into the Atlantic. The city was much changed, but some things never did, just across was his old ship, now sporting the dark blue hull and the Star of David of the Zionite Navy. Before he had been a scared navigation officer, now he commanded two light cruisers of the Weasel class and was in charge of an entire convoy. As soon as the ships docked, he would finish his mission...

Jerusalem, April 3rd

"...Your Majesty, as an official representative of the New Switzerland government I would like to present you with a gift and a message.

In the harbor of Tel Aviv sit three merchants. Among their cargo are 5 A-class submarines. Next to them are two G-1 class gunboats. All are yours, a goft of the NSN to the Zionite Navy. Also on board are technical documents and research papers. All yours for the keeping.

As for the message, the new government wishes to apologize for not assisting New Zion during your war against Italy. And pledges that such a travesty will never again happen.  Of that you have our word."

"Thank you Commander..."

Im working on this with Desert Fox we will see the lack of an Explosion in Rome is only temporary.  Nothing to see for now move along move along.

NOOO!!! EXPLOSIONS ARE COPYWRITED BY THE PHILLOPINOS AND ROMANIANS!

Actually Swampy holds the exclusive rights to explosions. The two ships he built for the DKB that where sold to NS blew up (only two Swiss warships to blow up). Therefore I have come to the conclusion that its not the Filipinos that blew up in WW but rather the Swampy designed ships, since he left WW no Filipino ship has explosively combusted.

My Romanian warship, designed by olekit, blew up...

If you do careful research, you will find out that somewhere somehow Swampy had a hand in that ship... ;D

But did he touch the ammo pile....

He missed the Fengel.  It went up without his help.

Most probably surplus DKB stuff...

Airfield near Jerusalem, April 5th


"Gentlemen, I present to you the Wright D.III Foxhound (Albatross D.Va). Twin maxim 7.92mm machine guns, single Curtis Osprey IV liquid cooled engine with 210 hp, monocoque fuselage, fastest and most heavily armed fighter in the world. And unlike rotary engined fighters, it's actually easy to fly."

"It's a nice plane, but how does it compare to the Italian ones?"

"Twice the firepower and twice the horsepower. I haven't seen the new Italian planes, But against the Macchi's and Caproni's, this plane holds every advantage."

"What about it's maneuverability.? I've seen the Caproni Triplane, and its very nimble and climbs like a homesick angle."

"And can you counter that?"

"Yes, our Lascurains are faster, so we have developed hit and run tactics, cause there is no way we can climb or turn with them."

"Do the same with these. You have speed, use it. They can't catch you. Now for the Wright A.V Ferret II (LVG C.VI), fastest reconnaissance plane in the world. Curtiss Osprey V liquid cooled engine with 220 hp. Stripped, it can do 140 mph. Only armament is a Swiss-Mondragon LMG, as no plane in the world can catch her."   

"Can it carry bombs?"

"Yes it can, but that's what the Ferret Is and Fathoms are for. This plane is designed to do one mission and do it very well."


OOC 10 of each plane where delivered.

Optimistic about being the best aircraft in the world :)

But otherwise very nice story.

I agree... excellent writing.
Not a lot of depth- 10 planes would last almost one whole dogfight.

Nah, at least 2, if only cuz 4 of them won't be able to take off due to some mechanical failure the 1st time.
