First one today was an Ace Combat plane, and so is this one.

These small canards don't look half-bad on the Eagle.  The other wing mods are nice  as well, but the canards especially so.

Amazing painting of a what-if by Antonis Karydis, in the Aviation Art group.  Zero from Kingdom of Hawaii puppet state established after Japanese invasion.

Glorious!

The pilot would have to be of the ruling line of ali'i
to have the scarlet and gold tail markings, either
that or the squadron would be a Royal Guards unit.
The cowl emblem doesn't look much like an Hawai'ian
"tiki". In the Kona style the eyes should be shaped like
a comma laid on its side with the point down.
Intriguing concept, although Japanese markings would
be more likely as the very large Japanese population,
the largest single ethnic group in the Islands at the
time, and the politicians in Japan would most likely have
treated the Islands as a province.
The book Hawaii Under the Rising Sun, is an excellent
look at the various Japanese plans for an occupied Hawai'i.

Agree totally Jon. Been there a good few times (my second favourite place to visit) and the possibilities for an alternative history of the place from "say" the 1850's onwards are fascinating. Fantastic piece of artwork however

Harry Turtledove wrote an alternative-history novel about the aftermath of Pearl Harbor that was interesting. I think Newt Gingrich did too, and there might be a couple of others.

Wait, wait.... Newt Gingrinch wrote ... well, basically, "Fan-fic?"

Wait...Newt Gingrich isn't the name of a professor at Hogwarts...
