England in 1940. The game delivers explosive fun for veteran and

of either side, or simply click “fly” and let your
generals manage the war below.
As commander, you can control the war
down to a single aircraft or building in a world where
thousands upon thousands battle for supremacy. Thousands of
targets including every plane, factory, airfield, and radar station have a
specific role and impact on the progress of the war below.
As the enormous campaign plays out below, you
will observe both allied and enemy flights carrying out their daily missions.
You can take your commanders hat off and jump in the cockpit of the British
Hurricane, Spitfire, German Messerschmitt, Stuka dive bomber, or man the
gunstations of the Dornier Do17, Heinkel He111, and Ju-88 level bombers. As
a pilot, all you need to do is destroy the enemy when you can and get you
and your comrades home alive.

and endless waves of German aircraft, taking part in the most authentic
