The Hughes Firebrand is a very high end and rare aircraft primarily used by the Knights of Hollywood in anti-piracy activities. It boasts powerful engines, a long range and it’s flying wing design allows it an impressive armament in its traditional anti-zepplin role. Despite it’s comparatively low maneuverability, it also possesses a rear gunner position should its first pass fail to destroy an enemy aircraft.
Crimson Skies and Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge are a pair of games featuring a sundered America where its splintered states are at constant war with each other thus the highway system was never developed leading people to adopt aircraft and zepplins as the preferred mode of travel and air piracy is a constant threat.
