Blackhawk Squadron

The Blackhawk Squadron is a team of elite combat pilots led by a mysterious man known as "Blackhawk", first formed in the early stages of World War II to combat the Axis Powers. The Blackhawk Squadron operated from a hidden airbases, known as "Blackhawk Islands", and piloted a variety of aircraft; but seemed to give special favouritism to the Grumman XF5F Skyrocket. Following the end of the war the team remained active to combat the "Communist Threat" before being decommissioned and turned into an air courier service during "peacetime".

The Squadron frequently squared off against fantastical war machines ranging from amphibious "shark planes" and flying tanks, to the "War Wheel"; a gigantic rolling behemoth adorned with spikes and machine guns.
