VB-10 was designed and ordered in 1940 before the Armistice. If it hadn't been for Nazis meandering around France, I'm going to bet it could have flown by 1942, which would bring it under the three-year rule.

I am checking RSAF entries, not sure if there is a chance to place a twin. Somehow summer 1939 and that 6 month rule kills them all....

Ensign(jr.) Flora Flowranis will be representing the Latvijas Jkras Gaisa Sparns in her Irbirtis I-16. She is the only women in the Latvijas Jkras Gaisa Sp
rns, which some attribute to her excellent flying skills, and some attribute to her closer than normal relationship with the commanding officer of Patrol Squadron #4. She has almost 7,000 hours in the air, a impressive number for her age of just 23. She is qualified in over 20 types of military aircraft, including all modern fighters. In addition, she traces her family line back to the Habsburg's of the former Austrian-Hungray Empire.

The final member of the Aguila/P-6 family. The Aguila III has two major changes from the II. First is a new wing which changes the retractable gear from outward to inward retraction. This gives the gear a wider stance and reduces landing accidents. It also allows four MGs to be mounted outboard of the landing gear. Two hardpoints are also fitted, making the III the first multi-role member of the family. The second change is replacing the engine with a more powerful variant, with twin superchargers. This change required the two nose guns to be moved to the wing. Other minor changes include a new canopy, and moving the radiator further back, to make room for the landing gear. The cockpit was also moved foward slightly, improving visibility.

Could someone let me have the specs of the WW FW190 B-6 please.

RA, the rules will look for a balance of shell weight and rate-of-fire. So while 20mm cannon might gain much punch the rate of fire might count against them in certain tight dogfight circumstances.
