Its Biplanes in the last panel, 90% chance its WW1

Quite a number of biplane fighters and bombers served on the front lines during the early years of WW2 before ever evolving tactics and technology pushed many into second-line roles. Many were certainly considered uncompetitive and obsolete compared to monoplanes but some managed to stay on the front lines thanks to being able to excel at certain mission profiles.

That said, this war is probably analogous to WW1 considering Ostania and Westalis are coded as Germany and the Heinkel He 50 was fielded in incredibly small numbers and mainly served on the Eastern Front.
