This series was designed from the point of a player running one plane or a complete squadron. The mechanics allowed you (with enough table space) to do just that. You would track each aircraft's damage/ammo while planning the manuevers it would take. This expansion was for the Battleline version which was much easier to use then the rewrite that Avalon Hill published. With all three games you would have planes from fighters, dive bombers, level bombers, transports, and jets. If it flew in WWII it was included. This expansion filled in aircraft slots for the Soviets and some additional units for other powers. Air Force dealt with the European Theater and Dauntless dealt with the Pacific, with the same mechanics used all around. Hard to find but well worth it.
