Hmm clearly some allied Werewolves or werebears are needed to counter them!Well yeah, they're vampires c'mon.
Sorry missed this, I dont think I have a blank of either but will check. IIRC wiki has a decent 3-wiev of the meteor
Here's some more Post-Apoc aircraft
A D. 520 that was of German capture in use by a large Wasteland Oil Company known as the Kuehn Brothers.
A Sky Pirate Bf-110C-1 heavy fighter.
And another non-German design, this time a Romanian IAR-80C fighter also being used by Sky Pirates.

J4M Vindkast, the ultimate and final single piston-engine fighter of both Royal Arendian Air Force and Navy. Served from 1944 to 1951.
Powered by a V-2700-60 series liquid-cooled engine (Licensed version of Rolls Royce Merlin 133-135), armed with two 25mm Mk 44 autocannons and two 12.7mm MG 35 Browning machine guns, able to take out any fighters, even two-engine bombers of the same era in short. The later variants (J4M Mk.3 and Mk.4-aka the Sjøvind, Naval carrier variant) even equipped four 25mm cannons.
J4M engaged with IJAAS and IJNAS during the last parts of the Pacific War, the planes which sold to Israel engaged with Arabic nations' fighters and RAF fighters in the First Arab-Israel War.

Nice, kind of a cross between a Spitfire and a Mustang. I like the heavy armament.
Interesting that it has both wing leading edge radiators and a belly radiator.
Iguru Taiyou No
Kawasaki Ki-5 Eagle
Licensed built Focke Wulf Ta-152H
In January of 1945 an I-400 submarine arrived in Japan from Germany* the sub brought many blueprints and examples of the latest German technology including the plans for the Focke Wulf Ta-152, a Junkers Jumo-213 engine and two 30mm MK-108 cannons.
The plans and powerplant were given to the firm of Kawasaki and ordered to build as faithful of a copy of the German warbird.
By late summer of 1945 a squadrons worth of the new fighters designated the Ki-5 and dubbed the Iguru (Eagle) were ready for operations over Japan. The planes detailed for defense of the Home islands were painted an overall sky blue to blend in with the sky and present a more difficult target for US B29 gunners.
It was a chaotic time and records of these times are sparse or non existent but Japanese pilots claimed over two dozen B29 kills while flying the Iguru.
* In early 1945 the German U-Boat U-234 set sail for Japan with a cargo hold full of blueprints and examples of German weapons but the war in Europe ended before the U-234 made it halfway to Japan and the U-234 surrendered to the US Navy.
Here I have the Japanese send an I-400 super sub to Germany a few months earlier and return with its precious cargo to the Home Islands.
Would it have made any difference?
