The Crimson Skies setting just screams for a d20 rule book. Is there anyone working on it at the momment?

Just curious. What is so unique about Crimson Skies than any typical WWI fighter combat games?

firstly, the timeline is in the late 1930s, so the technology is closer to WWII than WWI.
also, it's a lot more "pulpy" and more "cinematic" than a typical air combat game. look at some of the plane designs -- a lot of them aren't even aerodynamically stable (they wouldn't be able to fly in real life, or so i gather).
the game's more about "thrilling adventure!" and "aerial derring-do!" and not just a game of some planes shooting at each other.
also, the backstory (while a little far-fetched) is kinda neat -- a balkanized America. with some of the new American nations favoring Britain, or France, or the Soviets, or Germany -- and it's 1938 in the timeline... well, things could get interesting in North America very soon...
