From the smoking ruins of Pearl Harbor it begins...

A*C*E*S OF THE PACIFIC’



Following the award winning classic, Red Baron, the Great War Planes series continues with Aces of the Pacific. Step back into history with the men and machines of W.W.II combat in the Pacific. Up against enemy fighters and aces, you'll intercept bombers, dive-bomb enemy carriers, launch ground attacks to cripple the enemy airbases and experience the terror and exhilaration of carrier landings.


• Tangle with legendary aces such as Greg "Pappy" Boyington, Hiroyoshi Nishazawa and America's highest-ranking ace, Richard Bong.
  
  
• Over 30 meticulously researched vintage aircraft, including the A6M Zero, the F4U Corsair, the P-38 Lightning, the F6F Hellcat, the P-47 Thunderbolt, the SBD-3 Dauntless Dive Bomber, the B5N Kate Torpedo Bomber, and many more.
  
  
• Fly for either America or Japan, experiencing the sights and sounds of air combat in the Pacific: Carrier deck landings and take-offs, torpedo dive bombing, mid-air explosions and billowing clouds of smoke.
  
  
• Play a quick single mission or enlist for the full tour between 1941 and 1945.
  
  
• A powerful Mission Recorder lets you save an entire mission to disk and then jump back into the simulation at any point to begin playing again!
  
  
• A magnificent 240 page manual, complete with a detailed historical overview of the war, photos, war maps, pilot profiles, air combat tactics of the era and over 25 color pages of aircraft illustrations.
