Wolfgang Buchner

Nickname/Call Sign:	Pops Rank(s)	Colonel (Belka), 2nd Lieutenant (Osea) Flight Position:	Unknown AKA:	The Colonel, Huckebein the Raven, Wolfgang Buckner Status:	Shot Down - Survived Belkan War Shot Down - Survived Circum Pacific War Age:	56 Nationality:	Belkan Gender:	Male Described as a 'Top Ace of the Belkan Air Force' by a fellow pilot, Pops, then known as 'Huckebein the Raven', was one of the most talented pilots in the Belkan War. Soon after defecting after refusing to drop a nuclear bomb on a Belkan city in the Waldreich Mountians, he was shot down along with Captain Bartlett of the Osean Air Force. After meeting and getting back to Allied lines, Bartlett and Buckner apparently had a hard time convincing the forces they were on the same side (presumably hard to do while wearing a flight suit of the Belkan Air Force). Taking the alias of Peter N. Beagle and joining the Osean Air Defence Force as an engineer he moved to Sand Island -- the furthest place from Belka in Osean terrority -- to escape the Grey Men, who considered him a traitor. After 15 years of isolation, Pops found himself back in the heart of another war with Belka, becoming the base commander of the Razgriz Squadron as they attempted to foil Belka's plans to deploy more V1 nuclear weapons. In Ace Combat Zero, he appears along with Heartbreak 1 in the mission entitled "Mayhem".
