Spitfire captures the drama of the war in the air in Europe from 1939 to 1941, with scenarios drawn from the war over Poland, France, Britain, Malta and Greece. Over 50 historical scenarios, five of them
solitaire, are provided, each featuring one or more fighter aces — RAF pilots such as the heroic Squadron Leader Marmaduke St. John Pattle, "Sailor" Malan, the legless Douglas Bader, and "Cobber" Kain, as well as the
Germans Adolf Galland and Werner Molders, and French aces such as Jean Accart and Pierre le Gloan.
The 40 aircraft types in the game include the Pllish PZL11, French Potez 63 fighter bomber, and the highly advanced Dewotine D520, the German Fieseler Storch, FockeWulf 200C, Dornier DO 17Z, and Messerschmitt
109, British Hurricanes, Spitfires and Beaufighters, and the archaic Fairey Battle, plus US and Italian aircraft. Rules cover pilot skill, endurance, marksmanship, etc., while the scenarios cover a wide range of missions — from tank
busting to night fighting to bomber intercept.
