RELEASE NOTES

First light of Christmas day shimmers on the wings of your P-51 Mustang.
Then you see shadows moving across the snow. 'Jerries! 12 o'clock level!'
crackles  across the radio. A  box of Heinkels, escorted by  some 109's.
Coming straight at you. Drop your tanks, jam the throttle, and haul back
on the stick. Zig-zag  over a German fighter and blast him  with a spray
of machine  gun fire. The Messerschmidt's  tail section  breaks off from
the stress  of the dive. You  lose sight of it in the  cloud cover until
you see the flames. Another Bandit down.

Fierce  Dogfighting  Action The most  intense  combat  environment  ever
created  on the PC!  Realistic Flight  Models,  detailed Damage  Models,
flaming debris,  swarms  of aircraft, desperate radio  chatter, and more
put you right in the action.

Unprecedented  Graphic  Detail... takes full  advantage   of  today  and
tomorrow's 3D technology. Effects bring the action to life with: Clouds,
Explosions,   Smoke,  Fire,  Muzzle  Flash,  Shadows,   Cockpit  Damage,
3D In-Game Cockpits,  Time of Day, Flak,  Lens Flare  and  extraordinary
Terrain and Cultural Object detail!

Challenging for  Experienced Players. Play a full Campaign on either the
Axis  or  Allied  side! Up  to 8 pilots  in Multiplayer   mode for  both
cooperative  and competitive   missions. 40 Single Missions with  a full
Mission Editor  and Quick  Mission Creator. Custom-tune  Game Options to
increase/decrease difficulty.

Flight School  for  Novices. Training  Missions for: Take Off,  Landing,
Bombing Targets, Shooting, Rocket-firing, Dive-bombing and Strafing! New
players  can adjust difficulty  level in Game  Options to meet their own
requirements. No radar or missiles means easy to fly and easy to shoot.

Historically  Detailed. Take  a tour of the   interactive Museum  before
flight! 'Walk'  around each exquisitely  rendered aircraft and  hear the
Curator narrate reference  from Jane's Information Group Ltd. See  video
interviews with WWII Aces and news  reel footage of combat, all composed
in a high-poly count, 3D environment with a Swing Music soundtrack!
