- I have Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe and it is very good (on a 486 - I wouldn't recommend
- it on a 286).
-
- I have seen a good review of Aces of the Pacific (again it needs a fast PC), but I've not
- played it.
-
- I have played Battle of Britain: Their Finest Hour (same people as did SWOTL, but slightly
- older game).
