Flying Corps is a fantastic World War 1 aircraft simulation. Our demo is a DOS version of the game, but if your PC is up to it it will also run in Windows 95.
The demo is a cut-down version of Flying Corps, with a reduced landscape, no campaigns, fewer aircraft and only one of the many up'n'at'em missions.
The demo mission is from the game, called Squadron Encounter, where three flights of four aircraft have to take on the same number of the enemy in a head-to-head game of chicken. Choose your crate, either the Albatros or the Sopwith Camel and aim to see off the enemy and, most importantly survive.
