## At a glance

- One narrow, hard-hitting line. A cannon shot carries through a second target. In this notebook its specialty is piercing cannon. All twelve aircraft are available from the hangar; the selection is a playful comparison of handling, not a reconstruction of historical opposing forces.

- Real aircraft design · fictional arcade handling and matchups.

## Dated changes

- 2026-10-30: Added from the named source to the Field Guide.

## Open questions

- Why does a variant letter matter when comparing aircraft? An E and a later G-10 belong to the same family but have different engines, equipment and operational contexts. A family name is not a complete specification.
