Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5A, 1971/2. The Scimitar was designed by Tom Karen of Ogle as a shooting brake version of the earlier SE4 coupé. It was Reliant's most successful model with 4311 being produced between 1968 and 1975. They were all powered by Ford's 3.0 litre "Essex" V6

45 victory ace and Pour le Mérite (Blue Max) holder Leutnant Fritz Rumey of Jasta 5. He was KIA on 27 September 1918 after colliding with an SE5a. He bailed out but was killed when his parachute failed. For more, see my Facebook group - Eagles Of The Reich

König-Werke Adler-N - "Fokker's Cloud Stalkers"
Role: Scout Served With: Fokker Kingdoms First Flight: 1592 Strengths: Good Energy Fighter Weaknesses: Not Great in a Turn Inspiration: RAF SE5a (1917) Backer: Daniel Kwan
Description:
The KW Adler-N, often simply known by its abbreviation to pilots, ended up serving as Fokker’s primarily scout for the back half of the Great War. It’s design reflected the Fokker Kingdom’s combat philosophy, with an emphasis on speed and technical sophistication.
The original KW-AA was intended to match the agility of the Ritter rotaries, but it failed miserably in combat trials, being easy prey for enemy Singvogels. Ultimately, however, it took a fairly minor modification to become competitive: the replacement of the four-bladed, direct drive propeller with a geared, two-bladed one.
Suddenly, the KW-AN could fight in the vertical with the same ease the Ritter planes fought in the turn, and it was back in the running. It would serve with distinction until the end of the war, upgraded with larger powerplants as the war wore on.

Why would they put Joseph’s dad in a Phonix D.I when he was in the RAF, my brother in Christ they were used by Austria-Hungary during the war, I know JoJo’s is no way accurate to life ever, but you can at-least put him in like a sopworth camel or like a RAF SE5a

1918 06 Davies' SE5a - Russell Smith
This particular SE5a was the usual machine of LT. E. G. Davies of 29 Sq RAF. Davies scored three of his ten victories in the machine, but was unfortunately killed in it when it shed its wings during an acrobatic manoeuvre.
