They called it `The Mighty Eighth', the US Army Air Force 8th Bomber Command that flew daylight missions over occupied Europe, striking at specific military targets with pinpoint accuracy. B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty Eighth uses 3D graphics technology to recreate that period and gives you total control of every aspect of this strategic air war (including the opposition). Command one B-17 or a squadron of twelve in full battle formation, look after 10 or 120 crewmen and jump into the shoes of any one of them. Plan strategic missions based on reconnaissance you have requested. Fly in the escort planes or even the Luftwaffe fighters who are trying to shoot the B-17s down!

• Man one of the USAF B-17 bombers
• Take command of the aircraft, and manage its entire crew
• Fly as one of its escort fighters, flying deep into the heart of Germany during the second World War, tasked to cripple the German war industry.
• Fly a German intercept aircraft, tasked to take out the bombers before they reach the industrial region, preventing them from damaging factories vital for the wars at the East front and in France.
