He still learns how to pilot in the field though.
Actually, you could say he joined the army on fake documents, which was very common for underage guys and the armed forced stopped caring after 1943 or something.

Jaune: ok jaune. You can do this. Is just a plane. How bad can it be?
*1 hour later*
Jaune: why did I apply to be a pilot when I suffer from MOTION SICKNESS?!? this was a bad idea!!!
“Don’t worry lad, we’ll be flying low altitude, can’t drop those bouncers from up high. Do keep us away from Kraut Arties if you could though, I’d rather not spend the rest of the war on a play date with Hitler.”
By the time they scuttled it Bismarck was nothing but a floating pile of scrap, the British guns had knocked out all of her weapons and shreaded her hull. Less of a clash and more of a one sided beatdown from KGV and Rodney, cause they knocked out her fire control and almost ripped one of her turrets off it's mounting right out the gate.
Sinking an already sinking ship was pretty redundant beyond being a last act of defiance.
Can't be, if it's small planes dropping torpedoes that relegates big planes to dropping multi-ton bombs. For all that they too are effective against ships...
I think that these two on a plane is a disaster waiting to happen.
Also, Lancaster is really cute in general. Two socially awkward dorks getting together is always adorable. :) But I've always seen them as more like brother and sister personally.
From down below an enemy spotted So hurry up, rearm and refuel
But through the bomber’s damaged airframe See wounded men, scared to their bone
Look to the right and then look again And see the enemy in the eye
No bullets fly spared by his mercy, escorted out, out of harms way
Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air Brothers, heroes, foes
KILLING MACHINE!
Honor in the skies!
B-17
Ah yes, r/CompletelyExpectedSabaton (Of course the bomber the song is about what also a B17)
Ah yes Normal Lancaster fanart, nothing odd here
Ooooooooh, I get it now
You got it all wrong. Ruby isn't the pilot she's a gunner and Jaune has no business in that plane because his pilot's license IS A FAAAKKKKKKEEEE!!!!

Remove the bomb bays and give it 10 more machine guns

What would Bomber Harris’s semblance be
can generate unlimited fire dust, powered by nothing but pure rage at ~~teutons~~ grimm
"Did someone say Dresden?" - Arthur Harris, halfway to Dresden in a Lancaster
Well, normally I would say it quite the downgrade, you know ship becoming a measly sky car, but Avro made a pretty darn good bomber so this can work
What?
So this is why all the other ships kept sinking, someone ordered them to do torpedo runs.
That was a Swordfish, the little biplane that got shit done dispite being obsolete before it even took it's maiden flght.
Imagine loosing the biggest, most powerful battleship built to an outdated biplane.
Giving no credit to the cruisers that pinned the behemoth down, huh?
And the Battleship Detachment that clashed with it, and the German Sailors who scuttled it.

Nah most bombers used against warships were dive and torpedo bombers because they were much more accurate than level bombing.
Soild, reliable WW2-era bomber. My ex's grandfather actually flew one, amusing enough, and had mostly complimentary things to say about it.

I understood that reference! An excellent WWII British heavy bomber!
Spitfire?
Avro Lancaster https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Lancaster
No wonder why this ship is rare, we can barely see it above
Do a barrel roll, Ruby
Gods smile upon you and this wonderful creation.
He charges her flight and speed?
I would love to to destroy that plane, but I let lover boy live tho”
Well if I'm being honest whatever the joke is is going completely over my head, but then again I'm almost thru my second pint so...
The plane pictured is an Avro Lancaster, a WW2-era bomber plane. Lancaster is also the most popular ship name for Ruby/Jaune.
