B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th!

They called it 'The Mighty Eighth' - the U.S. Army Air Force 8th Bomber Command - over 800 bombers and 8,000 air crew. Their task was to fly missions over the dangerous skies of occupied Europe and hit specific military targets with pinpoint accuracy. Their biggest problem was that they could be seen and attacked by the Luftwaffe and anti-aircraft batteries. Their solution was massive defensive formations that fought their way there and fought their way back. This was probably the most dangerous job there was in the air war. B-17 Flying Fortress® II recreates those times in a simulation that gives players everything. For the first time they have total control of every aspect of the strategic air war in Europe (including the opposition).
