German Aircraft of The First World War

After three years of great loss and suffering on the Eastern Front, Imperial Russia was in crisis and on the verge of revolution. In November 1917, Lenin's Bolsheviks (later known as 'Soviets') seized power, signed a peace treaty with the Central Powers and brutally murdered Tsar Nicholas (British King George's first cousin) and his children so there could be no return to the old order. As Russia fractured into loyalist 'White' and revolutionary 'Red' factions, the British government became increasingly drawn into the escalating Russian Civil War after hundreds of thousands of German troops transferred from the Eastern Front to France were used in the 1918 'Spring Offensive' which threatened Paris.

1914, and the war in the skies was just beginning. Just eleven years after the Wright brothers' first flight, the Royal Flying Corps set off for France, and every aspect of air-fighting had to be discovered for the first time.

Take the steering control of German airship "zeppelin", or try to bring down it in the course of the campaign, saturated by the unexpected turns of events. Battle occurs in the extremely dynamic, filled with the gripping events peace, which as cannot better personifies the time of the First World War. In proportion to the passage of game you will meet in air with your allies, enemies and usual commercial airplanes, so that you look, in whom you shoot!
