First Eagles: The Great Air War 1918
_First Eagles: The Great War 1918_ is the fourth release from Third Wire
Productions and the first non-jet based game.
Find yourself in a flying machine made of wood, wire and canvass as you soar
with your squadron over the fields of France in the early part of the century.
You depart your field and climb to hunt the “Hun”. The wind whips in your
face, all of your senses are alive, the smell of the air, the engine exhaust,
the sounds of flight from the creaking of the aircraft. You can hear the
sounds of battle as you near the front and see the troops entrenched in the
mud.
Suddenly above you you see a flash of something and while staring into the
sun, you see the enemy. He is upon you and bullets are snapping through your
fragile machine. Wingmen and enemy spiral down in flames, no ejection seats or
even parachutes here. You fight or die.
Find yourself in any of the following player flyable machines – Fokker D.VII,
Fokker D.VIIF, R.A.F. S.E.5a as well as the SPAD XIII C.1. AI pilots will take
to the skies in Salmson 2 A.2, Albatros D.Va and the D.F.W. C.V.
