Premise

When humanity is threatened by mysterious Pillars, the Norse god Odin offers humanity a way to fight back: young female pilots called "Valkyries", each piloting a special, magically enhanced plane capable of fighting this mysterious new foe. One of these Valkyries is Claudia Braford, a German pilot who gets transferred to Tateyama Air Base, where she befriends a trio of Japanese Valkyries, and learns the value of friendship.

Characters

• Claudia Bradford (クラウディア・ブラフォード)
• Nicknamed "Claudy" (クラウ), she is a socially-withdrawn pilot and one of the world's most experienced Valkyries with the title "Valkyrie Schwertleite". Although she is praised as the "Valkyrie of Salvation", she silently refers to herself as the "Grim Reaper" because she survives battles that kill all of her teammates. Upon being transferred to Japan, she is surprised that the Japanese military is less formal to what she is normally used but nevertheless endeavors to befriend her new teammates. She flies a Gloster Gladiator.
