He 111 is one of the German girls who does well in the early stages of the European games and not so well once she runs into Hurricane. IIRC she transfers to a Spanish school at some point late in the series - that might have happened off camera. Between games she spent a lot of time in the school greenhouses.

Ta 152 was Fw 190's little sister who got pulled onto the German team late in the day when they were increasingly struggling against Columbia and Britannia. You have to feel sorry for her, she did her damnedest and even knocked Tempest down once but she evidently wasn't ready yet.

Bf 110 had some sort of sleeping problem didn't she? I forget the exact term but she had those half-lidded eyes during the day (when she wasn't curled up with her head on one of the other girl's lap). And then at night she was eyes wide-open hyper and scared the pants off everyone.

A-26 and B-26... oh those two. Could anyone keep those two straight? For that matter, could anyone stop them from trying to one-up each other. I -think- B-26 was the one who came out ahead on points but A-26... borrowed her name for a job interview right at the very very end of the series? (No, my bad, that was the manga. Right when there was that shake-up at Columbia and they got those new blue uniforms there was a little background sub-plot where there was an offer that they thought was for B-26 but actually it was for A-26 and someone mis-addressed the envelope. Kind of harsh on B-26).

B-25, of course, appeared regularly in Columbia's line up for bombing matches in the Pacific Conference and was a reserve for the ground-support team. She had some ridiculous amount of flying hours because she'd been an exchange student to Britannia. And then she had that accident at the Empire State Building.
