How it feels

Feels like commanding a squadron from a map table before diving into tense, side-scrolling dogfights over the Western Front.

What players say

Players love this 1992 MicroProse classic for its blend of strategic planning and arcade dogfighting, though some experience sound issues that require editing DOSBox settings and crashes when losing a bomber or winning a scenario.
