Each one is inspired in a WWII plane. Yoshika and Mia are Mitsubishi A6M Zeroes, Minna-Dietlinde is a Messerscharf Bf 109G-2/R6, Lynette is a Ultramarine Spitfire Mk IX...etc.

Yes, their background is that they are magical girls with robot legs, but the basic idea behind the anime is to create girls that are Moe Anthropormophic planes.

And anyway, the Kantai Collection girls ARE ships, and if you want girls that ARE planes and not characters inspired on planes... well, here you have them: More Mecha Musumes here:

My point is, the Japanese have already turned planes and submarines and tanks and even guns into anime girls. And in the MGEverse, mundane objects can turn into girls.
