"Spitfire!" immerses players in the intense aerial battles of Europe during 1939-1941, featuring scenarios from key theaters like Poland, France, Britain, Malta, and Greece. With over 50 historical scenarios, including solitaire options, each highlights iconic fighter aces and showcases a range of aircraft types.
Drawing on the rich array of aircraft from the era, including Polish, French, German, British, and US models, players engage in strategic maneuvers using renowned aircraft like the Spitfire, Hurricane, Messerschmitt 109, and more. The game extends Jim Hind's Aces High system into World War II, delivering a gripping experience from the invasion of Poland to the global conflict's early stages.
While "Spitfire!" serves as the inaugural release in a planned series simulating World War II, subsequent titles were never unveiled by 3W. Notably, the game distinguishes itself from the 1973 SPI release of the same name, offering a unique and immersive gaming experience focused on aerial combat over Europe.
