ROSKANAN DOMINION
"Pro Mars, Pro Populo, Pro Roskana!"
ARMED FORCES OF ROSKANA
Note:
The Roskanan military has abandoned the use of biplanes and triplanes in favor of monoplane aircraft, and no longer manufactures or utilizes biplanes for military purposes, save special-order manufacture of bi-plane aircraft for export. Also, I have had monoplane technology since the roleplay started.

Transport Aircraft
Roskana Motor-Works Air Transporter model 3
Designed mostly for short-range mail by air work, the ATM3 is a twin engine mono-wing transport aircraft designed to have a maximum capacity of about 8 passengers, two pilots, and a loadmaster, with a bay for palletized cargo, though this only really means it can take one pallet worth of boxes with it.
Roskana Motor-Works Air Transporter Model 5
A Twin-engine transporter built to be basically a enlarged version of the ATM3. It has a capacity for about 24 people, including a loadmaster and two pilots, but it has to pick between passengers and cargo. It can carry a substantial amount of cargo and drop it out of the back bay, but it's not seen much use militarily for more than the transport of important people.

Fighter Aircraft
B&A Motor-Department Model-3 Skysword
The Skysword is a short-range interceptor fighter meant to defend Roskanan skies from hostile fighter and bomber aircraft.
These fighters use two 35mm autocannons and four .50 cal machine guns. Though, older variants produced before 1936, few in number, use 30-06 machine guns instead and have no autocannons.
B&A Motor-Dept. Model 2 Barghest
Designed and fitted with eight .50 cal. heavy machine guns, the Barghest is meant primarily for long range endurance interception work against hostile bomber formations. It isn't very maneuverable, but it has a concentration of armor around the cockpit to increase the chances of survival of the pilot in combat. While not the most maneuverable, facing one head on for most is asking to meet god face to face.
B&A/RMW Model 4 "Black Hawk" CAS Fighter
Capable of taking on other aircraft, but optimized for strafing ground targets, the Black Hawk, or just Hawk, has three hardpoints able to mount 3 250LB bombs, and four .50 cal machine guns, mounted with two in the nose, and one on each wing, to spread out the dispersal of rounds so that the 'killing sweep' of the hawk encompasses the entire area in front of the aircraft, four cones of fire.

Bombers
B&A/RMW Model 2 Light "Shrike" Bomber
The Shrike is meant to engage hostile targets and armor on a localized battlefield, acting in support of ground forces, or striking at marked fortifications. It isn't meant to attack hostile aircraft, though the co-pilot has control of a light machine gun mounted in the hull for that purpose. The bomber carries a bombload of two 500 pound bombs in the bottom bay, and the wings have hardpoints for up to four 500 pound bombs. These bombers are rather slow, but have decent armor around the cockpit, though that's small comfort for the two man crew.
B&A/RMW Model 3 Medium "Vulture" Bomber
The Vulture is oriented towards attacking hostile fortifications from high altitude, carrying heavy bombloads and being powered by two large twin engines, which barely keep it aloft. The aircraft has four machine guns mounted two by two on either side of the hull, and then forward facing machine guns, all using 30-06. Attack Configurations are either for trench strikes, or anti-structure duty. ASD: 6 500LB Bombs. TSD: 12 250LB bombs.
