Okay, now on to planes for the Gallian Royal Air Force or GRAF. Like before, its a nix of lend-lease aircraft and domestically built planes.
Type 73 Wyvern fighter-bomber
Speed: 352 mph (387 mph in the C variant, 398 mph in the D variant)
Range: 800 miles (916 miles in the C variant, 945 miles in the D variant, can be increased via fuel tanks)
Crew: 1
Armament: 4 Breda 20mm cannons in the wings with 200 rounds for each cannon
2 Breda 7.62mm MGs in the nose with 800 rounds per gun
8 HVAR 127mm rockets
1 1000 lb bomb in the underbelly
Variants: Type 73B: Anti-tank version armed with 2 Breda 37mm cannons under the wings
Type 73C: Upgraded variant armed with stronger engine, longer range, and 2 T-MAG 50 cal. MGs in the nose
Type 73D: High-altitude variant equipped with an improved engine with a supercharger
Type 73E: D model Wyvern being used by Gallian Marine Corps from regular airfields (testing underway to try and make it into a carrier fighter)
Type 73F: Torpedo bomber variant with hardpoints being able to carry a 1,800 lb torpedo. Used by the Navy.
Bio: The Wyvern was made during the war to provide a heavy fighter bomber to attack Imperial armored units and to bring down enemy bombers. Its very effective at mid to low attitudes were it usually operates due to its role as a ground attack plane, but it can fight effectively at altitudes over 7,000 meters. Its also known to be a tough plane, able to take good amounts of punishment and being its pilots back to base and its high horsepower makes more of a "Boom and Zoom" fighter then a regular turning fighter. Its been compared to other fighter bombers such as the Amargoan P-47 Thunderbolt and Britannian Hawker Typhoon in terms of performance and firepower that could be brought to bear on enemy units. While it had difficulty starting out due to the Imperials having air superiority, overtime it was able to make its mark in combat against Imperial fighters and was known as a bomber killer due to its heavy armament. Its improved variants keep it flying against newer aircraft and it has seen service with nations like Hellas, Ryuvia, and Hussaria to supplement their aircraft.

Type 91 Grayhawk fighter-bomber
Speed: 387 mph
Range: 625 miles (can be increased via fuel tanks)
Crew: 1
Armaments: 5 Breda 76.2mm MGs in the wings with 1000 rounds each
1 Breda 20mm cannon in the nose with 60 rounds
can carry 2 220 lb bombs under the wings and 1 550 lb bomb in the underbelly
6 HVAR 127mm rockets for ground attack missions
Variants: Type 91B: Improved engine which increases speed to 405 mph and replaces 4 7.62mm MGs with 2 T-MAG MGs with 500 rounds each
Type 91C: Replaces 4 7.62mm MGs with 2 Breda 20mm cannons with 120 rounds per gun
Type 91D: Experimental variant with 5 Breda 20mm cannons
Bio: Built as both a fighter-bomber and a high altitude interceptor to deal with enemy bombers, the Grayhawk saw service in the last month of the Gallian-Imperial War. It was able to match any available fighter that the Imperial had in service, shocking the Imperial High Command who didn't think Gallia could have produced such a fighter. It's small and agile, able to turn with other high performance interceptors. While it has short range compared to other fighters, due to the size of Gallia its not a total downside for its pilots. It did have several teething problems at first due to some in the Gallian High Command wanting it out in the field faster then the designers wanted, but due to the war swinging in their favor, the rush to get out was largely diminished. It has seen service from then on with the Gallian Expeditionary Force or GEF that is serving in Fhirald and the forces in Hussaria and Ryuvia. (combination of the Yak-3 and Spitfire)
Type 72 Vulture heavy fighter
Speed: 365 mph
Range: 1,400 miles (can be increased via fuel tanks)
Crew: 2
Armament: 4 Breda 20mm cannons with 300 rounds per cannon in the nose
4 Breda 7.62mm MG with 800 rounds per gun in the nose
4 500lb bombs or 1 2,000 lb bomb in the underbelly
12 HVAR 127mm rockets
Variants: Type 72B: armed with 2 Breda 20mm cannons and 1 43/75mm cannon for anti-ship and anti-tank missions
Type 72C: Armed with 2 Breda 20mm cannons, 4 T-MAG 50 cal MGs, and 2 Breda 37mm cannons for anti-tank missions
Type 72N: Night fighter variant with 2 Breda 20mm cannons in Schrage Musik with 100 rpg with regular armament
Type 72 T: Torpedo-bomber variant with the ability to carry 1 1,800 lb torpedo
Bio: While Gallia had always relied on using single engine fighters since planes began to be used for military proposes, a shift in the Air Force doctrine was needed following the War with the East Empire. The use of large formations of bombers had been a serious problem due to the destruction they caused to Gallia's infrastructure which in turn affected how they fought until after William Siegfried became to new overall commander of the Gallian Military after Damon's ties to the traitor Borg had hurt his standing and by then Princess Cordelia's decree following the foiled kidnapping. Seeing the effectiveness of twin engine fighters against enemy bombers, Gallia had decided to begin production on their own heavy fighter for both a heavy interceptor role and ground attack. The Vulture was not only able to fill in both roles effectively, but to also fill in other roles that they had seen their allies use their heavy fighters for. (based on the body of the He 219 and the wings and tail of the P-61)
Type 10 Banshee bomber
Speed: 180 mph
Range: 395 miles
Crew: 2 (pilot/navigator/radioman, gunner/spotter)
Armament: 2 T1 T-MAG 50 cal HMGs in the nose
1 Breda 7.62mm MG for defense
Can carry 5 550 lb bombs and 4 HVAR rockets
Variant: Type 10T: Used to be a trainer with obly carrying 4 50 lb bombs and 3 Breda 7.62mm MGs
Bio: During the Gallian-Imperial War, some units such as the Night Witches (an all female Darcsen unit) carried out successful night-time raids using old, slow biplanes against enemy encampments and moving units. Among the planes used were ones such as the Moskovan Po-2 (which still sees use in the role by both its creator country and some of the smaller nations as a trainer, reconnaissance, and ground attack plane), which proved effective when used correctly. Seeing how these surpirse attacks were so effective, it was decided to make a similar type of plane that was faster and could carry a bigger bomb-load. The Banshee first saw use following the ceasefire between the East Empire and the League, being used to surprise an Imperial armored division that tried to attack Gallian units near Rotterdam. The attack had badly effected the Imperial unit psychologically, especially due to the sound of the planes engine which really frighten them, earning the plane its infamous name. (based on the body of an He 51 and the wings of a Po-2.)
Type 65 Sparrow fighter
Speed: 230 mph
Range: 347 miles
Crew: 1
Armament: 2 T1 T-MAG HMGs in the nose
Can carry 1 500 lb bomb and 8 HVAR rockets for ground attack
Variant: Type 65T: Used for training with 2 Breda 7.62mm MGs in nose
Type 65D: Dive bomber with strengthened wings with dive breaks
Type 65R: Reconnaissance variant with a large camera installed to take photos while keeping the main armament
Bio: Originally built in the 1920s, the Sparrow was still used by several squadrons in the GRAF prior to the Imperial invasion. It struggled in fighting the more advanced and powerful monoplanes that the Empire was fielding in all areas except maneuverability (some Imperial pilots got reckless and overconfident which give the Gallians a chance to shoot them down). While the plane has now been replaced by more modern designs, it still had use in terms of ground attack as with the Night Witches when they tested a modified plane during one raid they launched at Imperial forces at Kloden. Its biggest advantage compared to more modern aircraft is its STOL capabilities which allow it to take off from short runways or be take from any area that's being used as an improvised airfield.
Type 75 Falcon
Speed: 402 mph
Range: 1,000 miles
Crew: 1
Armament: 4 Breda 20mm cannons with 300 rounds per gun in the wings
2 T-MAG HMGs in the nose with 600 rounds per gun
Can carry 8 HVAR rockets or 2,500 lbs of bombs
Variant: Type 75B: Built to be used as a carrier fighter with arresting hook for the ability to land on carriers effectively.
Bio: Built for use by the Gallian Navy and Marine Corps, the Type 75 Falcon was built to be not only hard hitting fighter-bomber, but also an agile, high performance dog-fighter. It was first put into service following the Gallian-Imperial War, being flown against allied fighters in order to test its capabilities. It was very good in a turning fight (being able to keep up with a Britannian Spitfire) , but it was very effective as a boom and zoom aircraft due to its high energy retention. Its ability to carry a heavy load for its size was also a bouns, with some saying it was as good as Amargo's P-47 Thunderbolt in terms of ground attack. It first saw use in Fhirald with the GEF, managing to destroy several units during an Imperial offensive to overrun the defensive line set up by the Allied forces. It was also responsible for the sinking of the Imperial battlecruiser Oaken, aalong sunk and damage its support ships when 32 Falcons attacked with 20 Averger torpedo bombers and 24 Dauntless dive bombers. The Falcons were able to shoot down 36 Imperial fighters and sunk 3 destroyers with 1000 lb bombs. Gallia is also looking into having a carrier variant of the plane to be used with its first domestic aircraft carrier Gaz, and the Valor-class of Escort carriers that are being made. (Based on the body of an Fw 190 and the wings of an F4U)
Type 97 Condor dive/torpedo bomber
Speed: 355 mph
Range: 978 miles
Crew: 2 (pilot and gunner)
Armament: 2 Breda 20mm cannons with 300 rounds per gun in the wings
2 T-MAG HMGs in the nose with 600 rounds per gun
2 T-MAG HMGs in twin mounting in a turret
Can carry 1 1,000 lb or 2,000 lb bomb or 1 1,800 lb torpedo inside the fuselage
Can carry 10 HVAR 127mm rockets for striking ground targets
Variants: Type 87B: Improved engine with contra-rotating propellers. Speed increased to 386 mph and range to 1,023 miles
Bio: An experimental strike aircraft that is to operate from the carriers in the Gallian Navy, the Condor was made to take up both the role of a dive and torpedo bomber. While planes such as Amargo's Avenger torpedo bomber and dive bombers such as the Dauntless and Helldiver were effective, some in Gallia wanted a plane that could by chance accomplish both roles at once. Taking inspiration from such planes as Nippon's newest carrier borne strike craft, the Aichi B7A, the Condor was armed with 2 20mm cannons and 2 50 caliber machine guns, which was a rather heavy armament for carrier bombers. It can also be armed with air-to-ground rockets for attacking enemy emplacements and columns. It is currently undergoing testing with a couple of planes in a testing unit.
Type 90 Albatross
Speed: 334 mph
Range: 1,430 miles
Crew: 8
Armament: 2 Breda 20mm cannons (one in dorsal turret and one in tail turret)
8 AN/T-MAG HMGs (2 twin guns in both beam positions, 2 in the nose, and two in ventral turret
Can carry up to 3,200lbs of bombs in fuselage along with being able to carry 4,409 lbs externally
Variants: Type 90A: Ground attack version with 1 75mm gun in frontal gun pod with 4 20mm cannons in the nose and can carry 4 300lb bombs in the wings
Type 90TB: Torpedo bomber able to carry 2 torpedoes
Type 90T: Transport version able to carry 16 troops, starting to enter production
Bio: A joint project made by Gallia, Wallachia, and Vinland, the Albatross was made to act as an attempt to expand Gallia's self-sufficiency. Due to the size of Gallia, the need for heavy bombers was unnecessary as Vinland had offered two heavy bomber groups due to them signing a military pact with other members of the League for them to send more weapons to assist in improving their militaries. The Albatross was first tested in late 1936 prior to the beginning of the Civil War and was shown in Gallia's first Victory Day parade, celebrating their victory over the Empire. The Gallian 1st bomber group of the GRAF is the main operator of this aircraft with only 16 produced as of January 1937 as bombers and 2 as transports.
Type 30 Seagull Dive Bomber
Speed: 280 mph (316 mph with the B model)
Range: 1,145 miles (1,168 miles with the B model)
Crew: 2 (pilot and gunner)
Armament: 2 Breda 20mm cannons with in the nose with 250 rounds each
1 twin barreled T-MAG HMG in the tail with 1000 rounds or 1 Breda 20mm cannon with 480 rounds
Can carry one 1,800 bomb in the underbelly or one 500 lb bomb with 2 250 lb bombs in the wings
Type 30B: Improved engine for better performance and a twin barreled 20mm cannons
Bio: Designed at the turn of the decade for the Gallian Navy to give them a capable dive bomber, the Seagull was made in 1930 in response to the increasing hostility of the Empire. During the invasion, it did prove effective in sinking enemy ships despite many of the planes being destroyed during the opening stages of the conflict. Brave Gallian Navy pilots proved to be effective against unprepared Imperial ships, with the only remaining squadron that enough planes to be fully operational, the 10th Bombardment Squadron were able to sink 3 Imperial Cruisers, 4 Destroyers, and an Imperium-Class Battleship. The twin tail of the aircraft allowed the read gunner a wider field of fire then other dive bombers in service and the gull wings allow for better turning then most dive bombers other then that of those from Nippon. (Body is based on the SBD Dauntless with the twin tail of the B-25 Medium Bomber)
Type 84 Pelican Torpedo Bomber
Speed: 245 mph (293 mph with the B model)
Range: 840 miles (1,020 miles with the B model)
Crew: 2 (pilot and gunner)
Armament: 4 12.7mm T MAG HMGs with 500 rounds in the wings and 40 rounds each in the nose
1 twin barreled T-MAG HMG in the tail with 1000 rounds or 1 Breda 20mm cannon with 480 rounds
1 T-MAG HMG in a ventral turret
Can carry one 2,000 torpedo in the underbelly or one up to 2,000 lbs of bombs
Type 84B: Variant with improved engine and replaces wing 50 cals with Breda 20mm cannons with 300 rounds each
Bio: Designed as the first modern Torpedo Bomber for Gallia's Navy, the Pelican first saw service in 1931 and was produced in small numbers due to military mismanagement and being produced in small numbers. Due to the performance of the aircraft, Gallian pilots of the Pelicans underwent highly dangerous missions for the early months of the conflict due to the Imperials having air superiority. Once the League's forces arrived and upgrades to the plane had been made, Pelican pilots were able to sink more Imperial ships as the conflict continued. While the Wyvern is being tested to preform the role as a higher speed torpedo bomber, the Pelican is still in service and being upgraded to keep it competitive among other torpedo planes (Has the body of an Avenger Torpedo Bomber and the wings of a Fairy Barracuda with a v tail along with the rudder)
