A new early access video for all of you! The Fiat G.91 is a hidden gem of the early Cold War period but it's story, inspired through a quite rational NATO standardization program, is one of delays, compromises and ultimately falling far short of the initial exceptions. Shame really, it was a good plane. Find out more in this video!

Important: Discord Access

- To those that have Discord Access but can not see anything on the server. Please relink Discord to Patreon. The issue seems to have popped up on a recent Patreon billing cycle and I don't know why. However, relinking it has been confirmed to work! Hope to see you there again soon.
