| - The Bell Valiants were produced in Marietta, Georgia, starting in November 1934. It is a small, agile fighter, ideal for dogfighting and able to out-turn almost any other aircraft. The Valiant is primarily used to protect fixed installations, as it requires a long runway for take off and a short operational range of 350 miles. Outside of Dixie, the Bell Valiant Mk II is also found in the service of the Republic of Texas, Utah, and Arixo. A new Bell factory in Burlington in former Vermont in the Maritime Provinces anticipates the spread of the Valiant in the Provinces and Quebec as well.

| - The Bell Valiants were produced in Marietta, Georgia, starting in November 1934. It is a small, agile fighter, ideal for dogfighting and able to out-turn almost any other aircraft. The Valiant is primarily used to protect fixed installations, as it requires a long runway for take off and a short operational range of 350 miles. Despite its small turning circle and excellent acceleration, the Valiant's short operational range has relegated it to the role of point defense for Confederate forces. Valiants were used to devastating effect against Appalachian bandits during the mid 1930s, primarily because the pirates wrote off the Valiants as being too short-legged to pose a threat. Outside of Dixie, the Bell Valiant Mk II is also found in the service of the Republic of Texas, Utah, and Arixo. A new Bell factory in Burlington in former Vermont in the Maritime Provinces anticipates the spread of the Valiant in the Provinces and Quebec as well. In the Crimson Skies universe, the Bell Valiant is one of several aircraft to be advertised on the game's official website without ever actually appearing in-game, there is a rumor that game files may exist for the Bell Valiant Mk II.
