Goodwin Raptor

The Goodwin Raptor was a two-seater biplane light bomber used by the Edropian Air Force. It was a prominent Edropian aircraft in the pre-war period, and was briefly used at the very beginning of the Great Laraniem War before it became obsolete and was replaced by the vastly superior Buzzard. While the Raptor was never widely used it was still an important aircraft as its design was later further developed into the Goodwin M4 and Goodwin W3.
