"Live to fly, fly to win, Aces High!"

You are a top pilot in World War II, fighting for the allies in the Pacific. Allied forces are lacking and you have been called in to help. You must attack a number of islands ahead of the main force and destroy as many enemy units as possible in order to ensure an allied victory. To ensure victory you must destroy at least 50% of the enemy units which you encounter. It will not be an easy task--there are many antiaircraft guns pitted against you and some Axis ships are believed to be in the area.

  • 16 increasingly difficult levels
  • Landscapes are randomly generated--a different world each time you play!

  • Bomb with discretion--drop two and you'll be caught waiting for a reload!
  • Score big bonuses for successful missions
  • Even take out a few Imperial Fleet cruisers along the way!
