As the World War reaches its climax, great air fleets clash in the skies above Europe and the Pacific. Formations of heavy bombers meet sleek interceptors in desperate battles for survival. Escorts jockey for altitude, then fall on enemy fighters in fierce engagements. Shot-up pilots bail out of their aircraft while their squadrons are scattered to the winds. Bombers battle their way through heavy flak to their targets, which they annihilate with precision bombing.Wing Leader Supremacy is the second volume in the Wing Leader game series. It is a game of massed air battles where players command squadron- and flight-sized units in formations of wing strength or greater. One side takes the role of raiders, leading a force of bombers through to the target. The other side defends with fighters, trying to claw for altitude and intercept the enemy.The game employs a side-view of the air battle, in which the forces maneuver vertically and end-to-end along the path of the raid.
