Koolhoven F.K.58 - Dutch Aircraft in the ArmΓ©e de l'Air

https://preview.redd.it/fah67dd3j2e71.jpg?width=1445&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e3ead07d71b1376af906daa82c19d94b1167b9a

The Koolhoven F.K.58 was an aircraft contracted by France and produced by the Dutch N.V. Koolhoven company. I would put this aircraft at 1.7 - 2.3. It would be another low tier fighter for France, but be unique in that it is not of French origin, but was used by the ArmΓ©e de l'Air during the Battle of France, although in very limited service.

History

In the late 1930s, as Germany began to become more and more of an obvious threat, the governments of Britain and France began to rearm. There was much debate in France between pacifism and rearmament, and during this time the government settled for appeasement, but also began to rearm. There was a war brewing, and the French wanted to have the very best fighter designs they could, as aircraft had proved themselves in World War 1, and would be even more important in the event of another war.

French Prime Minister Γ‰douard Daladier saying goodbye to German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop after the 1938 Munich Conference, whereby Germany would be allowed to occupy the Czech Sudetenland.

However, in 1937, the Conseil SupΓ©rieur de l'Air, the brass of the French Air Force, came to a decision that in the event of a war, the Air Force couldn't be provided with aircraft produced in France quick enough. It was then that the Dutch Aircraft company Koolhoven was contracted to create an easy to build, inexpensive, but high performance fighter. The French particularly wanted it to be able to be fitted with French engines and other components, which would ease logistics.

Designer Erich Schatzki began work on the aircraft, and took heavy inspiration from previous designs he had built, such as the Fokker D.XXI, and Fokker G.I heavy fighter. One of the most amazing things about its development was that it took two-and-a-half months to complete the aircraft, from initial drawings, to flying. Another part of its design that was not as widely seen at the time was its retractable landing gear, which would reduce drag on the aircraft, increasing performance. However, the aircraft used a standard armament for the time, four machine guns under the wings.

Just stake your assets and calm the f**k down.

I understand that the greed & fear meter is all the way down to 10.

I also understand this dip is not what people expected after so many ExPeRtS claimed BTC would reach 100k and ETH 10k lmfao

I also also do understand that any newcomer will be scared af if they just put their Xmas money into crypto.

What I have learnt though is, if you got any kind of crypto rewards based on staking, then please just lock it up for some solid good months or years and forget about this. It helps you mentally and also it is in my opinion the best call for a long term hodler.

In my case, I have been sipping coffee watching Reddit go nuts and keeping calm as hell because I have Ethereum staked, CRO staked for the card and in their DeFi Earn (all locked) and the rest of coins I have them staked and all these secured with a hardware wallet which I genuinely find it too much of a hassle to get to start using again for the sake of panic selling.

It is just better to watch the world burn while you know it will eventually heal up again.

Stake your coins, earn interest and lock it up for a while. It will help you A LOT mentally.

NOTE: any PoW hodlers (unstakable coins obviously), try to get them into a DeFi earning system like Compound or Aave. Any centralised ones can be Nexo
