Overview and Gameplay
World War I biplane combat drives Sky Mission, the Japanese Super Famicom release of the game also known overseas as Wings 2: Aces High and Blazing Skies. You command five Allied pilots through a 20-mission campaign over France, building toward a final confrontation with the Red Baron.
Missions switch between dogfights, bombing runs, and ground attacks. Success earns points for pilot abilities such as flying, shooting, mechanics, and stamina, while failure can remove pilots from the roster.
