Relive the Air Battles of World War II

Blitzkrieg: Screaming stuka dive-bombers rain destruction on Allied troops. In the sky above Europe, Spitfires, Messerschmitts, Mustangs, and Focke-Wulfs fight it out. Over Britain, the RAF, with a few brave fighters, stand off the concentrated might of the Luftwaffe. It was a time of great deeds and great planes. Now The Discovery Channel brings you the story of those great planes, and the men who flew them, through the power of CD-ROM. Relive the history of the air war over Europe, a history in which you set the pace and choose the path.

Eight great warplanes examined in detail: Mustang, stuka, Spitfire, Flying Fortress, P-38 Lightning, Messerschmitt Bf-109, Messerschmitt Me-262, and Soviet Stormovik.

Reviews:

Computer Shopper, June 1995

"The Discovery Channel Multimedia's Wings Over Europe is an exciting history lesson on CD-ROM that chronicles the air battles in the European theater of World War II. It's rich in content and well produced, just like the television documentaries created by its developer, The Discovery Channel.

"This two-disc set includes a flight simulator, which lets you fly various World War II missions, and a documentary disc. But while the first may sound like fun, it's the latter CD that is the package's true star."
