Knights of the Air
Deadly World War I aerial pursuit combat. Players pilot historically modeled aircraft, managing speed, climb, dive, and turning ability while using maneuver cards to position for attacks. Different planes reflect their real strengths and weaknesses, while pilot experience improves reaction, accuracy, and access to advanced maneuvers. Solitaire scenarios include attacks on Zeppelin airships and two-seater aircraft.
