A World Divided, A Sky on Fire

A punk genre story set in an alternate 1940's, the British Empire is the strongest nation to exist. They've conquered most of Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. They control the strongest navy, army, and sky fleet. The United States is a sleeping giant controlling the entirety of the Americas. Japan has asserted themselves as the dominant power in Asia and the Eurasian Empire is suffering from hardships with the Tzar fearing a communist rebellion. Antarctica (called Terra Australis or Australia), lush and green in this timeline, is split between the United States, Japan, Britain and many independent nations. But among these major powers are pirates. The United Pirate Alliance has sea, land and air forces. We follow a pirate clan known as the Eyes of the Skies. They're the biggest thorn in the side for the British and Japanese Empires, often also getting into scraps with the United States and sometimes even Russians. But now, their Ace pilot named Desmond Blackwell and his squadron may have found something. Something that could change the world forever.
