Would this work?

O.k, here's an idea that may or may not work, but I'll give it a shot anyhow.

I start off an A-4 page comic strip based in a made up scenario, leave it in cliffhanger mode and then invite anyone who's interested to carry on the comic strip for one more page and then leave that in cliffhanger mode for the next person.
Sort of a " chinese whispers air combat comic strip."
This could be fun......

Our Second Contribution

1950's, by John Kratovil,Russia, Military, @drawnpatrol

Yuri 'Iceman' Gagarine pilots his Mig 15 down 'Mig Alley' in February 1953
Gagarine never got over the joshing he constantly got over sharing a
name with the first cosmonaut
He died tragically while attempting to defrost his Gaz tourer on a cold
Moscow morning
Following a hearty breakfast of Vodka, he had lit a wood fire under the
radiator.

Mikhael Gregorevich Leermontov, a hero of his time, felt more at home in
the seat of his Mig 17 once he had had it replaced with the seat from
his family's tractor in Minsk.

Vasili Ivanovich Krapov made a gift of his Fishbed to the people of
Uraguay, when he flew off course during the Latin American Soccer Wars
of the late 60s.
His original plan had been to defect to Peru, but navigation had never
been his strong suit. In fact, althoughVasili was a nice kid, he was as
sharp as a wet sponge.

From the awesome John Kratovil we have received a sweet bunch of planes.
Thanks for all the art John!

Curtiss Pigeon P-11

1940's, by Arthur, Military, North America, WW2@drawnpatrol

A lesser known variant of the great Curtiss persuit family, the Pigeon had made it's mark in history by possessing
an unrivalled lack of overall performance. The type was therefore decommissioned within the same month of adoption.
Most of the airframes were relegated to amusement parks, while the remainder had been recycled into outdoor furniture.
