## At a glance

- A broad fan catches crossing formations. Heavy wings demand earlier turns. In this notebook its specialty is three-way spread. 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.

## Open questions

- What can the nose tell you about an Fw 190? The radial-powered A and liquid-cooled D had different engine installations. The D’s long nose and rear-fuselage extension distinguish it from earlier variants.
