Republic P3 Colt, "Abe's Avengers" - Entering service in 1938, the Colt was the work-horse of the United States Army Air Corp's fighter squadrons. It went through numerous upgrades and variants throughout the course of the war, making it one of the most reliable fighter designs in the United States' arsenal. Its maximum speed was 330 mph, with a maximum range of 456 miles. Its armament consisted of six .50 cal. MGs, three in each wing. This aircraft belong to a United States ace pilot that operated over the skies of Kentucky in 1943. The squadron he was part of were apparently of the same party affiliation - the Socialist Party. They showed their affiliation to Lincoln's party by displaying his likeliness to the fuselage of their planes.
