G'day

 >FT fighters remind me of WWI aircraft.

That would explain carriers not trying to recover fighters then (the 
earliest carriers had launch facilities but to land the fighters had to 
ditch into the sea and the pilot was picked up) ;)

Would also require all fighters to sit on deck with a white picket fence

around them ;)

Cheers
