Fokker D.XXI

There are also game counters.

First designed by Ir E Schatzki of the famous Fokker factory to meet the needs of the colonial forces of the Dutch East Indies, the D.XXI has been sold to Finland, Denmark and serves the republican government in the Spanish civil war. Still, most D.XXI fight pirates and raiders over the Jawa Sea. It is a rarity in America.

Lightly armed and armored compared to it's American counterparts, the D.XXI relies on group tactics, rockets and incendiary ammunition to bring down larger prey. It often serves as a reconnaissance and patrol aircraft.

In many ways a marvel of engineering, with flight ceiling unmatched by any american craft it's size and a long range. The small tolerances makes the plane expensive and hard to maintain. Don't even think of using any but original parts for this one.

The wing surfaces are made out of bakelite plastic; a rigid, light material that keeps it's form even under stress. Sadly, it is not the best kind of armor around; the plane is notoriously fragile.
