War Eagles

Back of Box

An early morning mist covered much of the battlefield as a pale, springtime sun rose in the eastern sky. A single Allied RE8 two-seater reconnaissance aircraft slowly circled the German positions below. Bursting from the clouds, the sun at its back, machine guns blazing, a bright red Fokker DR I Triplane took aim at point-blank range on the lumbering reconnaissance plane.

Now it's your turn!

Now, from the cockpit of your own fighter, you can test yourself against the greatest air aces of World War I. Challenge the "Red Baron" von Richtohfen (sic) or go up against the "White Knight" Billy Bishop in a test of skill and daring, where the losers crash and burn!

Choose your own type of aircraft, from the sassy Sopwith Camel to the ominous Fokker Triplane. Learn the tactics and maneuvers that can spell the difference between glory and death!

No heat seeking missiles or distant targets here. This type of combat is "up close and personal." It's you versus "him", and he's very, very, good!
