Game Summary
The missions undertaken by the crews of B-17 bombers during World War II are the stuff of legend. What was it to fly through relentless anti-aircraft fire over Nazi-occupied Europe? What was it to have a thin layer of steel between life and death at 15,000 feet? Furiously fend off enemy fighters zipping around your plane and then precisely deliver your cargo of bombs over enemy targets? Find out for yourself as you lead a 10-men crew to victory… or defeat… against squadrons of Nazi warplanes in the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress! Carry out a realistic 25-missions tour of duty based on historically accurate scenarios and targets, or Take to the skies in “Quick Start” assignments with available Instant Action mode. Plan real missions, select authentic flying formations, and manage both crews and bombers. Assess your crew’s strengths and skills to effectively re-position and cope with wounded personnel and casualties. Take to the skies in any one of ten B-17 Flying fortress crew positions: Pilot, Co-Pilot, Navigator, Bombadier/Chin Turret Gunner, Radio Operator, Engineer/Top Turret Gunner, Port Waist Gunner, Starboard Waist Gunner, Ball Gunner, and Tail Gunner! Take total control: Take-off, land, shoot from various crew positions, navigate across a realistically mapped Europe, operate the radio, line up the bomb run, release the bombs and bail out if necessary. This is the original MicroProse B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th, the legendary sequel to B-17 Flying Fortress: World War II Bombers in Action. Fly the B-17 Flying Fortress and become a legend before your own time!
