PC gamers can fly high and experience the intensity of
historically-accurate WWII battles with THE HISTORY CHANNEL(R):

The arcade-style flight sim puts players in the cockpit of more

the chaos of air combat, from dogfights to air raids. The
History Channel: WWII Battle Of Britain 1940 is available at
retail stores and has been rated "T" by the ESRB.
"The History Channel: WWII Battle Of Britain 1940

definitive time in history like never before," said Patrick Kelly,
Vice President of Studios, Activision Value Publishing. "With the
help of The History Channel we were able to create an experience

The History Channel: Battle Of Britain 1940 challenges
players to conquer the close quarter air battles from the 1940s. As
either Axis or Allied forces, players battle through 14
realistically recreated missions that include raids off the Suffolk
coast, port attacks at Dover and "The Blitz." Each mission is

aircrafts, from the JU87 and BF109 bombers to the Spitfire and
