Species Notes
According to Sir Edward Howe, the Longwings' ancestor was the Sharpspitter, a small, low-flying English breed and the Ironwing, a Russian breed.
Longwings were traditionally very picky about their captains. Sometime around the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, it was discovered that they took to female captains more readily, so by the early 1800s, women were trained in the Aerial Corps specifically for Longwing service.
