> - Me 109 is a veteran, like Spitfire and Hurricane,

Part of her ongoing rivalry with the 'fire and 'cane sisters is that their persistent misnaming of her has become so widespread even her sisters use it accidentally from time to time.

The name on her birth certificate is "Bf 109." She isn't as bitter as Fw 190, but it's still annoying.

> - Yak-9 has heard all the jokes before, trust me.

She only appears in the manga, but don't forget her sister, Il-2.

Ilyusha has always been a bit out of place. The only other one who is at all like her is Stuka, and she fuckin' hates Stuka. There are two whole volumes devoted to that rivalry, in fact.

She can barely operate as a fighter, but she looks like one, so she can't hang out with the bombers either. She's even more obscure than Yak is, although she might be more beloved among her countrymen. She cultivates an air of Russian stoicism which is only periodically interrupted by insane bouts of violence; she's been known to state that the only reason P-47 spends so much time bragging about blowing up trains and bridges is because she can't find an honest tank to make go boom, like a proper lady would.
