I really wish they'd give it the same treatment as BoB 2, which shows that Rowan's engine can still be alive and kicking. I never got very far in Mig Alley, but I'll always remember it as the game that taught me how to dogfight.

That would be totally cool!

The movie "The Hunters" is way better than Crash Dive.

Yeah, that's on my list, too.

Especially if they threw in the USN/Marine fighters. Panthers and Skyraiders and Corsairs! Yeah!

I've built models of things like a Douglas F3D Skyknight and a Seafire 47 for the airwar game we play at the local hobby shop. I'd love to see those in a game as well.

Ayup. Been playing it since 1977. The only pictures I have are of the WW1 variant, but we play any period from 1915 through the present.

Caudron G4 (scratchbuilt)


Sopwith 1-1/2 sneaks up on a Rumper


And doesn't notice the other one stalking him (all three are vacuform kits)


Caudron escorted by a Nieuport 10 and Morane 'L'


A little photoshop goes a long way


Gulliver Steve admires his Eindekker


The stands


A sight no Allied pilot wants to see

The author has been trying to market the game for thirty-five years. No luck so far.

My models are no better that thousands of others people have made just to play with. The best part of the whole thing is that rather than six or eight model planes hanging from the ceiling I have a couple hundred that I take out and play with on a regular basis.

Ironic...I wrote Eindecker, then thought I'd better check how Steve wrote it, and thought ah, I must be wrong and changed it to Eindekker.
Still...goes down in flames the same way when exposed to a Sopwith no matter what it's called

I know, but I didn't see any reason to correct it until Oberon made the same mistake.
Otherwise I had already pointed out the fact, that it is a Rumpler and not a Rumper.

@Raptor
I only heard of grammar Nazis so far. If there are already spelling Nazis it seems that my power is growing. *insert evil laughing smiley here*
