Last night I was experimenting with conjuring up demons and asking them questions about history. All went well until one of them, in a typical devilish trick, showed me a horrible photograph. It's a single-seat BE2c with an exceptionally weird paintjob, plus all sorts of strange aftermarket attachments. The mere sight of it gave me a new patch of gray hair
WARNING: The attached pic is extremely shocking. Viewers risk permanent damage to their sanity just from looking at it. Please have your children leave the room....
See? Didn't I warn you? Take as long as you need to get your heartrate back to normal. Deep breaths. Perhaps an icebag for the head? I'll wait.
OK, now that you've recovered from the shock, and if you're not to traumatized to remember some of the graphic details, what do you think? Is this the product of a madman who cracked under the strain of having to fly the Quirk in combat? Or is it some nalicious psychological weapon intended to make German pilots gouge their own eyes out and leap from their cockpits upon seeing it? Or, worst of all, was this something from the post-war airshow circuit, whose effects, when unleashed on the general public, triggered the Great Depression?
