Biography
Mihajlo Mesic was born in Estovakia in 1985.
Estovakian Civil War
During the civil war, Mesic achieved notoriety for being one of the very few ace pilots within the ranks of the Lyes United Front. He earned renown for destroying an enemy chain of command during the civil war. Due to the LUF's devastating loss at the hands of the Eastern Faction, Mesic's team was forced to disband and reorganize into the new Estovakian Air Force.[1]
Emmeria-Estovakia War
Mesic's renown led to his reassignment to fly as a bomber escort during the Emmeria-Estovakia War.[1] When Estovakia commenced the bombing of Vitoze, Mesic was sent with the attacking bomber squadron. The squadron and escorts ran into heavier resistance from the Emmerian military than anticipated. Mesic was subsequently shot down,[1] along with the entire bomber squadron.[2]
