HISTORY
When the First World War ended, the Norwegian Air Force had a strong need to replace the various reconnaissance aircraft of the Farman type with more modern equipment. German Hannoversche Waggonfabrik AG had built a number of two-seater scout aircraft during the war years, including the Hannover CL.V, which was well tested when the war ended. Norway bought license rights and started production under the name F.F7 HAUK at Flyvemaskinfabrikken in Kjeller. in the years 1923-24, 14 F.F7 Hauk were built under licence. They were used for reconnaissance at Sønnenfjeldske Flyveavdeling in the years 1923-28, and the last ones were taken out of service in 1929. Several Scandinavian altitude records were set with this aircraft, the last in 1924 with 8,450 metres.
The engine and cockpit from a Norwegian Hauk have been preserved and are on display at the Norwegian Museum of Technology in Oslo
IN GAME
As we wall know this is a very old plane, and doesn’t have the best performance. but in some situations it can be compared to the Po2, this plane is slightly faster with some different specs, it has 2x machineguns fixed forwards, and two machineguns to be fired backwards bu the other crew member. it can therefore do decent at rank 1, either at 1.0 or as a reserve plane, it could even be awarded trough an event! and if it would be a reserve plane the players could choose if they wanted to play it or not. The machineguns should do enough damage to be able to do well in a battle
