addedIn this release we’ve added a set of historical models representing the Czechoslovak Air Force of the 1930s. Some units were in the proto-type stage when the German occupation began, ending further development. The models also include the Avia S-99, a Czech Messerschmitt Bf 109 post-war fighter constructed with parts and plans left over from Luftwaffe aircraft production during the war. A portion of these were sold to the new Israeli state forming that nations first fighter squadron.
addedIn the next update we'll complete the regional power air unit model additions with entries from the Yugoslavian and Romanian Air Forces. There are plans to add Swedish and Australian aircraft at some point but the priorities will likely shift towards gameplay features. Also, we eventually want to expand the under-represented jet era models, notably Soviet aircraft.

As a small, landlocked nation surrounded by hostile neighbours, Czechoslovakia placed a high priority on developing a modern aviation industry. With no ports or ships, they viewed the air as their sea. Using the large heavy machinery and military industrial factories in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia was able to produce a well respected force in regards to personnel, material and equipment. The Munich Agreement forced the Czechs to surrender without a fight so we can never know how this force would have fared against the German Luftwaffe.
