ok so, 1) this is fairly far down the (book) timeline from, er, Arrival, I guess, right, because whatever chud weirdos came through from the future have gotten a fair bit into helping the Axis and Doolittle is still amazed by future tech but not at all surprised by it? 2) there actually was an Me-325, is the idea here that that airframe designation got "pre-empted" by this fighter craft because it predates the transport's introduction?
Yeah the Departure occurs in June 1942, things really get off to the races in Dec 1942 and this is early 1945. So two years of exposure to a continual tech-economic revolution. And yeah, the Fa 325 gets scrapped and the designator gets reused
Nope, not the B-70! "Valk" is shorthand for VAC—Vector, Altitude Controller—which is the downtime expression for either aerial or ground controllers. This is the first major test for the corps of air controllers, predominately women, who've been trained in the previous two years
