History
"They outnumber us five-to-one. If they run away now, they "might" outnumber us three-to-one."

Alliance High Command ordered the production of first-generation Aquilan-made Longbows in 1953 V.C. Serving with distinction throughout the Great Voshkod-Aquilan War's Hawke Theater (though admittedly, little more than fodder for MiG, Yak and Lavochkin pilots), the Longbow Mk. 1 continued to see action until late 1967 V.C., when 13 helicopters were lost in action during the Battle of Hyboria to anti-aircraft fire from flak troopers. It was a public relations nightmare, as the Longbow had been pushed at the "face" of the Allied military over the last few years due to its extreme effectiveness.

A new design was ordered and the old Longbows were unceremoniously dumped in the Boneyard. Within the space of a few months, Alliance engineers had unleashed a new Longbow design, one that was quickly put into production, while the Aquilans would do the similar way with the AH-64 Apache helicopter via the AAH program following the cancellation and sellout of the Cheyenne. From this humble origin, the completely re-worked Longbow Liberator was a masterpiece, passing every test and showing remarkable battlefield performance; the Liberator's 20mm "Pyrocumulus" autocannon was superbly effective against not only infantry but also light vehicles and even helicopters, while its "Dragonblaster" missiles packed enough power to level even the dreaded Apocalypse tanks. They served with distinction for the remainder for many years to come, though there were never quite enough to go around as Athel Loren, refused to order the Longbow Liberators and instead created their own successor of the Longbow in form of the Warhawk.
