Femme Fliers is an original character project created by @bumroyv2.bsky.social
The goal is to create characters for WWII aircraft, similar to what Kantai Collection and Azur Lane did for WWII warships.
New planes will be released over time.

I was hoping to complete more characters this weekend, but my mother fell and hurt her back real bad. Nothing broken, but she’s in a lot of pain, and I need to be around to help her out.

No AI has been used in the making of Femme Fliers. My not infrequent spelling and grammatical mistakes are instead due to me rushing and being stupid.
The B7A was perhaps the most unfortunate plane of WWII.
It was easier to build… but an earthquake destroyed the factory where it was made.
It was powerful and agile… but the only carriers that could operate it were sunk before it was deployed.
This powerhouse never got a chance to prove itself.

The Curtiss Hawks flew for dozens of different countries before and during WWII. The P-40 in particular was one of the most important fighters of the War, serving on almost every front and in frontline roles until the end of the conflict. The P-40 would be the 3rd most-produced U.S. fighter.
