Description

In Secret Weapons Over Normandy, you take the role of James Chase, an American pilot who joins a secret elite squadron of Royal Air Force pilots during World War 2. As a member of the Battlehawks, you must take part in missions in several war theaters including Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Pacific, experiencing historical battles and encounters like the Battle of Britain, Stalingrad, D-Day and the Battle of Midway. The primary enemy of the Battlehawks is their German Luftwaffe counterpart, called Nemesis.
