From BoardGameGeek

Fight the air war over WW2 Europe in this 1-2 player deck building card game. Like our popular Airborne Commander, you start with a few cards and choose to use them to either attack enemy targets or to add cards to your deck. Pick when to launch a mission and the target area but beware, you have limited time and air defense cards are added each turn. The strength of the bomber formations that survive the run in to the target areas determine how many cards are drawn to get hits. Each Target Area has a minimum number of hits required to win the game. Do you execute pre-war doctrine and send unescorted bombers deep into enemy territory? Use your fighters for escort duty or send them on fighter sweeps? Assemble B-17 Flying Fortresses, B-24 Liberators, P-47 Thunderbolts and P-51 Mustangs. Assign Lead Bombardiers and Ace Gunners. Will they encounter FLAK filled skies, flocks of ME 109s and FW 190's, or a dreaded Me 262? Be picked up by radar that steers more fighters to them? Send the boys up. Hope they hit the target. See how many make it back. Then send them up again. 145 cards which also includes P-38 Photo Recon, Me 410, and more. -description from the designer
