What is CANVAS FALCONS5 October 1914
On board a Voisin III corporal Quénault shot down an Aviatik flown by leutnant Van Zangen near Rheims, France.
This first kill heralded a new era in warfare; the use of flying machines to gain air supremacy.
With air supremacy your aircraft can roam at will to observe, bomb, shoot the enemy in the air, over water and on the ground. With Canvas Falcons you will recreate these deadly encounters to gain supremacy.
Canvas Falcons place you in the cockpit of a “Knight of the air”.
