I was just reviewing the Fly Girls threads and noticed that I had never updated this post, despite having a newer (though still not complete) version of the file on my laptop here. So here's an update. I really must get busy on the rest of the character capsules sometime.

Teams

At the start of the series, the principal schools/teams are:

Atlantic Conference

Britannia Academy
The United Kingdom. Plucky underdogs punching above their weight. Headmaster Chamberlain, a pleasant, well-meaning, hard-working, but overly optimistic administrator, retires early in season one and is replaced by irascible Headmaster Churchill, whose pugnacious manner in dealing with the other principals often bites off more than the team was really prepared to chew.

Gymnasium Germania
Germany. The Nazi elements are downplayed, though the insignia on the German characters' uniforms and aircraft are correct. An incredibly powerful, arrogant school whose administrators (including the elusive and dreaded Headmaster, who appears to have no name and is never seen in person) believe that they should run all the other schools as well.

École Marianne
France. Proud, haughty, disorganized, outclassed. The École Marianne has a long-standing rivalry with Britannia Academy, but lately have been collaborating with them in many sports programs.

Rodina-Mat Aviation Technical High School of Moscow
The USSR. Highly specialized school in which only aviation and aviation-related subjects (aircraft maintenance and repair, etc.) are taught. Somewhat hampered by a low general technology level, but very dedicated, though, as at the Gymnasium Germania, the students are terrified of the administration (particularly Vice-Principal Beria).

Pacific Conference

Britannia East
Britannia Academy operates a satellite school in Hong Kong, with a branch campus in Singapore. It isn't as well-funded as the main school, and its distance from Britain makes communications with the head office tricky.

Australia Ladies' College
Closely allied with Britannia Academy, of which it was once a satellite school as well before it began operating independently at the turn of the century. Despite its name, it's grades 10-12, not post-secondary. They play a fairly minor role in the TV series, but are more prominent in the manga.

Greater East Asia Girls' Aviation Academy
Japan. Trains aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army, and so maintains two teams, whose rivalry is, if anything, more intense than any either team maintains with those operated by other schools. Like the Gymnasium Germania, East Asia Girls' Academy's administrators (particularly Vice-Headmaster Tojo) believe the school's system is best and all the other schools in the conference should permit it to take over their administration as well.

Zhong Guo Technical School
China. Headmaster Chiang is not a great prize, but most of the students agree that having their school merged with East Asia Girls' Academy would be even worse - and that doesn't even take into account the other interloper trying to seize control of the school, a renegade educator called Mr. Mao. Starts the tournament woefully underequipped and unprepared.

Both conferences are joined at the beginning of 1942 (season three of the TV series, Volume 10 of the manga) by teams from Columbia High School, i.e., the United States of America, although American players have been participating (not always entirely within league rules or with their school's administration's blessing) in both conferences since nearly the beginning of the tournament. Like Britannia Academy, Columbia is so big that it's actually two schools, Columbia East (which plays in the Atlantic Conference) and Columbia West (Pacific).

Major Characters

Britannia Academy

N.B. The complicated interconnections of the British aircraft industry mean that all the native-born Britannia students are related in some often confusing way.

Hurricane
Full name: Hurricane "Hurry" Hawker
Birthdate: November 6, 1935
Class: Senior

As the "old lady" of the Britannian fighters, Hurricane feels she has little to prove. She doesn't care about popularity or pleasing the administrator or even individual achievement - so long as her team is winning, or at least not losing, she's content. She has less-than-perfect attendance and conduct records and a tendency to be a bit overconfident, but she works hard, is an excellent athlete, and has a naturally winning personality that smooths over most of her rough spots. She also has a surprisingly beautiful singing voice - although in the heat of combat it becomes a sort of primal howl, signaling to all who hear it that Hurricane is on the hunt. (Because of this, Me 109 calls her Werwolf.)

Hurry is a bit of a tomboy, and prefers her PE clothes to her proper uniform, which she never quite seems to be wearing correctly. She keeps her light brown hair short and unfussy and can't see the point of makeup (in part, annoyingly for her classmates, because she doesn't require the embellishment - really good bones). She usually has a look of slight mischief about her and a glint in her blue eyes, as if she's either up to something or trying to think of something to be up to. (Conversely, on the rare occasions when she gets really angry, it shows much more obviously than in most of the others; her face goes crimson, the pupils of her eyes almost disappear, the sinews of her neck and forearms show, her fingers become claws, and her teeth take on a striking resemblance to a bear trap.) She has a surprisingly delicate build for such a dedicated athlete.

Somewhat to some people's surprise, Hurricane is capable of great refinement when the situation calls for it. She can wear a dress, sit with her knees together, and hold a teacup properly, and when called upon to do so, she will. It's just not her default state. At such moments, the resemblance between Hurry and Spitfire becomes so marked that people automatically assume they must be sisters (a misperception which their very similar voices do nothing to dispel).

Spitfire
Full name: Spitfire Type-300 Supermarine
Birthdate: March 5, 1936
Class: Junior

Most of the time, Spitfire (do not attempt to shorten that for nickname purposes; it will not end well for you) is the very model of a British prep-school head girl - proper, reserved, level-headed. As the most popular and widely recognized of the Britannia fighters, she seeks to set a good example for the underclassmen and uphold the school's ideals, presenting a ladylike and composed exterior at all times. She's no shrinking violet, though, and anyone who has exceeded her patience has learned in short order what a mistake that is. Not only is she a highly capable and essentially fearless combatant, she can use wit, sarcasm,and even apology as weapons in a way that must be witnessed to be believed.

She's only a few months younger than Hurry, but she ran into some problems in junior high and ended up a year behind her by the time they got to high school. Far from being sensitive about that, though, she considers it a mark of accomplishment that she overcame her problems and became the glamorous top student that she is today. Because of their close resemblance and very similar voices, people often assume the two are sisters.

In contrast to Hurry, Spitfire is a tall and athletic young woman with long, slightly curly brown hair, brown eyes, and a general air of calm, contained maturity: usually smiling, but never very broadly. She's the most grown-up-looking of the main characters - she could easily pass for an adult, particularly once the tournament is fully under way and Britannia switches from school to service uniforms. Most of all, she's agonizingly, well, English, with full measures of the national gifts for cheerful stoicism in the face of discomfort, dry understatement, wry self-deprecation, and always looking perfectly tailored and put together no matter what.

(Spitfire has a twin sister, Seafire, who's in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm instead of the RAF. The only visual differences between them are that Seafire's hair is even lighter, almost blonde, and she wears an RN uniform. Also, she almost always has a bandage on some part of her, as she's a bit accident-prone.)

Gymnasium Germania

Me 109
Full name: Dora Bf 109 Messerschmitt
Birthdate: May 29, 1935
Class: Senior

Me 109 was born Bf 109, and it's still officially her name, but she started going by "Me" instead in 1938, when the great German aircraft designer W.E. "Willy" Messerschmitt married into the old Bayerische Flugzeugwerke family and adopted her. (It may explain a few things about the Messerschmitt-BF family dynamic that he's her actual father anyway.) She's older than Hurry and has the most experience of any of the main characters, since she started competing internationally in middle school. On the downside, that also means she has the most old injuries to contend with, and the fatigue of those extra seasons of play is always with her, just below the surface. Out of battle, she's very quiet and reserved, preferring to keep to herself. In the entire course of the series, only three characters ever called her by her virtually-unknown first name, "Dora" - her father, her sister 110, and (once) Hurricane.

Everyone expects Me 109 to be blonde, but her hair is actually dark brown (she's Bavarian, so that's not unusual). She does have blue eyes, though they are a very dark blue. She keeps her hair cut short, never wears makeup, and even her clothes that aren't her uniform look like uniforms. She's smaller than most people expect on first meeting, but holds herself very erect, though close inspection will reveal that she walks with a slight limp thanks to an injury she suffered when she was playing in Spain. She also has the only visible battle scars of any of the main cast: one on her left cheek (which resembles, but isn't, a Heidelberg dueling scar) and a number on her back and legs (revealed only rarely, as for example in the episode where the Germania girls all go to Prora for some R&R).

Bf 110
Full name:

Fw 190
Full name: Würger Fw 190 Focke-Wulf
Birthdate: June 1, 1939
Class: Freshman

Fw 190 joined the cast at the start of the second season, in one of the show's first overt anachronisms (the real Fw 190 didn't enter service until August 1941, which would have been roughly a third of the way through Season 3). Young, bright, ambitious, and with a big chip on her shoulder about having missed the first part of the tournament, she's more hostile to her own teammate Me 109 than she is to the enemy (and she's plenty hostile to the enemy). She firmly believes that she's a better fighter plane than that battle-scarred old hag any day. She's newer, faster, and tougher, and her engine is more reliable - and yet 109 is the only German fighter most people outside the insular little world of fighter girls has ever heard of. She's the one in all the posters. She's the one the little boys at air shows want to see. It would be enough to make 190's coolant boil - except she doesn't have any, because she's powered by an air-cooled radial engine, still another advantage she has over "the Bavarian" (which is all she will ever call 109).

In fairness, Fw 190 does look exactly like you would expect a German fighter girl to look: blonde, blue-eyed, buxom. (Well, she's radial-engined, after all. They've generally got a lot up front, albeit not to a ridiculous extent - it's not that kind of show.) She's the tallest of the main European characters (Do 17 is taller, but only appears occasionally). Out of uniform, she's considerably more feminine and glamorous than Me 109, but in an aggressive, show-offy kind of way that comes across as a bit forced, like she's trying too hard. Her flaxen hair is long and wavy, usually loose, but she has been known to rock the braided-pigtails Valkyrie look in combat.

#	Title	Release Date/Original Airdate
n/a	Blue Water War	(video) December 19, 2406

401	Mosquito Clears the Air	(video) May 22, 2407
Public service short on body issues and social acceptance featuring Mosquito de Havilland and A-1 Douglas. Released to support the home video release of Fly Girls the Movie.
701**	The Night Witch	(aired) December 25, 2410
In the desperate winter of 1942, Rodina-Mat Chairman Stalin turns to unconventional means to save his school.

* This episode aired only once, is not included in the Season 2 MultiDisc or VDC releases, and was struck from the official episode guide on TV Tomodachi's Fly Girls website from early 2403 until June 15, 2410, when - without fanfare of any kind - it was reinstated to the episode guide and released as a stand-alone video.

** This is TV Tomodachi's official production code for The Night Witch, confirmed by documents released by Studio Stratos (e.g. cels with production code blocks attached). It is currently unclear whether "episode 701" really constitutes the first episode of a new season, or is meant to stand alone.

Known episodes not yet placed above:

- At least three episodes featuring Typhoon, one of which involved her exploring the ground attack role with P-47
- The Ju 88 spotlight episode
- The episode where P-40 and Zero have a tea ceremony (possibly in the course of some temporary cease-fire)

The three-part finale of Season 1 was originally aired as a special 90-minute "movie episode", but shown as three separate episodes in reruns. The "movie" version was released separately on video as Fly Girls: Their Finest Hour.

Similarly, in addition to its as-aired inclusion in the Season 5 box set, the season's four-part finale "Leyte Gulf!" was released on video as a feature-length film, Fly Girls: Leyte Gulf! (I Have Returned).

As of 2410 there's been a single theatrical film.
- Fly Girls the Movie: The Jet Age! (opened December 15, 2406)

There was one short-lived spin-off, Lift/Mass Ratio, which only ran for 12 episodes in 2405; it was a classic "the network wants Something Else Like That" sort of thing. An official spin-off by the same creative team, Missile Girls, didn't get picked up.
