Japanese J-n Aircraft 

TZ-Japan built attack planes for their own use and for export: the J-2, J3, and J-4:

J-2 Aircraft 

This a Japanese J-2, based on the J-Zero, flown by Japan and exported to many third-world countries, including Vietnam (a pirate state):

J-3 Aircraft 

These are Japanese J-3’s, based on the J-Zero, flown by Japan and exported to many third-world countries, including Vietnam (a pirate state). They look the same as J-2 planes.

J-4 Aircraft 

These are Japanese J-4’s flown by Japan and exported to many third-world countries, including Vietnam (a pirate state). They are based on the Nazi Me-500, and look very similar:

Nazi ME-500 Aircraft 

This is 1 a Nazi attack ME-500 plane flown by Nazi Germany, 2 a plane flown by like-minded countries, i.e. Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, and Romania, and 3 a plane flown by countries not members of the League of Nations which simply want good aircraft, i.e. Iraq, Persia, Syria, Turkey, and Turkmenistan:

Post Soviet MIG-51 Aircraft 

This a Russian attack plane developed from the P-51D, flown by both Republican and Soviet successor states:

Persian PA-nnn Aircraft 

These are attack aircraft built in 2020 after the fall of Nazi Germany, for Persia’s own use and for export: PA-1nn prop planes, and PA-2nn jet planes:

PA-1nn Aircraft 

These PA-100 aircraft are attack planes designed and built by Persia starting in late 2020 using the Japanese J-4 and Nazi Me-500 as a starting point, and using machinery and experts from the defeated Nazis’ aircraft industry … paying in gold that Germany needed very badly:

These PA-101 aircraft have old P-51-derived wings; they are built by Persia starting in early 2022.

PA-2nn Aircraft 

These PA-200 aircraft are attack jet planes designed and built by Persia starting in late 2032:

Boeing P-51 Aircraft 

These are P-51s flown by Sarah and by various League of Nations air forces.

These P-51s are notably different from the original P-51s (e.g. the P-51D) in two respects: first, these have pairs of contra-rotating propellers; and second, their wings are back-swept for much higher speeds.

Boeing Eagle-Z Aircraft 

These are Eagle-Z attack planes flown by Sarah, by the League of Nations Air Force, and by the air forces of League of Nations members.

Each Eagle has this cobalt blue eagle on translucent gold ready light, backlit when the aircraft is functioning nominally, darkened when there is a problem:

Sarah’s Eagle-Zs 

These are Eagle-TZs flown by Sarah, the first being a gift of Queen Victoria Ⅱ, and the others purchased by Sarah to fly with the League of Nations black, red, grey, purple, and indigo squadrons; the last is flown by Sarah as an Iroquois plane; the last two are the same plane, with different decals:

League of Nations Air Force 

These are Eagle-TZs flown by the League of Nations Air Force, with each colour theme flown by a different squadron:

Air Forces of League of Nations Members 

These are Eagle-TZs flown by various League of Nations air forces:

Boeing Topaz 

There are three types of Topaz’s:

• Topaz-Z: this is a TZ light attack, reconnaissance, and training plane, sold starting in 2005, designed to be 1 better at its rôles than any military prop plane (and better too than the Persian Aerospace PA-200), 2 28% of the cost of an Eagle-Z, and 3 as cheap to fly and maintain as a good ci­vil­ian prop plane.
• Topaz-T2: same as Topaz-Z, but sold in T2 starting in 2020.
• Topaz-C: this is the civilian version of the Topaz-Z, sold in TZ and T2 starting in 2010.

Pilots deem the Topaz the most agile, the most forgiving, and the most fun aircraft flying. Ground crew deem it incredibly easy to maintain.

The Topaz is subsonic, but coasts easily and efficiently at Mach 0.95.

Each Topaz aircraft has a 5 carat Orange Topaz jewel in the instrument panel, backlit when the aircraft is functioning nominally, darkened when there is a problem:

Note: the Topaz was initially named the Talon.

Topaz Models

These are the basic models from which individual military Topaz’s are generated:

Topaz-Z 

The Topaz-Z is sold to TZ countries which are 1 members of the LofN which choose not to buy the more expensive Eagle-Z, 2 members of the LofN which have Eagle-Z’s but which choose to also have light attack planes or training planes, or 3 friendly to all mem­bers of the LofN.

Topaz-T2 

The Topaz-T2 is also sold, starting in 2030 — to T2 countries which want this excellent light attack plane, reconnaissance plane, and trainer. Sales are limited to nations which will not destabilize the balance of power in their regions (though arab countries criticise the sales to Israel, and China severely criticizes the sales to China-Taiwan).

Boeing Topaz Ⅱ 

The Topaz Ⅱ is a redesigned version of the original Topaz, with advanced technologies which give it much longer range than the original Topaz.

It is a small attack, reconnaissance, and training plane, sold starting in 2041, 25% of the cost of an Eagle-Z. It is as cheap to maintain as the original Topaz, and has the same performance as the original Topaz, but has a 300% greater range.

Each Topaz Ⅱ has this blue topaz ready light, backlit when the aircraft is functioning nominally, darkened when there is a problem:

This is the model from which various national Topaz Ⅱ’s are generated:

Boeing Emerald 

The Emerald is a larger version of the Topaz Ⅱ.

It is a medium attack, reconnaissance, and training plane, sold starting in 2041, 30% of the cost of an Eagle-Z. It is as cheap to maintain as a Topaz Ⅱ, and has the same performance as a Topaz Ⅱ — except that it is more maneuverable and therefore a better dogfighter — and carries a 25% heavier bomb or missile load.

Each Emerald has this emerald ready light, backlit when the aircraft is functioning nominally, darkened when there is a problem:

This is the model from which various national Emeralds are generated:

T2 ThunderBolt-Z 

These are ThunderBolt-Z’s built in T2 for the TZ League of Nations Airforce for the Fascist and Pirate wars, and leased after the Fas­cist War by a few TZ air forces — Australia (due to pirate attacks on its north and north-western coasts), the Cape Town Republic (due to attacks from nearby black tribes), China (Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) (protection against Chinese rump states), East Turkmenistan (due to attacks from a Chinese rump state), Ethiopia (due to frequent incursions by nearby tribes and slave traders), Finland (due to frequent incursions from the Saint Petersburg Soviet Re­pub­lic), India (due to frequent incursions from the north-west frontier and its border with a Chinese rump state, and due to the need to help pro­tect Tibet from attack by 3 Chinese rump states), JILKA (due to threats to its bor­der states), Poland (due to frequent at­tacks from the Byelorussian Republic), the Ukraine (due to frequent attacks by USSR successor states), the United Kingdom (due to fre­quent attacks on its South-East Asian colonies), and the US Army Air Corps and US Marine Corps (because the US prefers to con­trol its own warplanes):

Thunderbolt-Z’s are maintained by TZ-Boeing.

Each ThunderBolt has this cobalt blue thunderbolt on translucent gold ready light, backlit when the aircraft is functioning nominally, darkened when there is a problem:
