STANDARD CONTROLS KEY JOYSTICK ACTION --- -------- ---------- Q UP Fly higher A Down Fly lower O Left Bank left P Right Bank right ENTER Fire machine guns SPACE - Drop bombs (from bomber) M - Flight map (also acts as PAUSE PLAY) QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS You are in control of a World War 1 fighter your job is to protect and guide a flight of four bombers to take out an enemy fuel dump. You may then Land and refuel before heading out once again. Keep your Compass pointer vertical or you will run into heavy flak and also run out of fuel. Shoot down all planes EXCEPT for your own bomber, which will fly dead ahead of you. Fly around hilis - don't hit them - or you will damage your propellers. Avoid barrage balloons If one of your bombers gets hit a replacement will fly in after a few seconds Bomb anything you like. If you can stay on course and survive long enough you should eventually pass over the enemy fuel dumps which you must wipe out. Watch out for suicidal Black Barons, and crack shot Blue Maxes. If you need a break, press the MAP key to inspect your progress - this also acts as a PAUSE GAME control. THE SCREEN Your controls at the bottom of the screen include the following: COMPASS POINTER: Keep this vertical It indicates the direction to fly in. If it moves to either side, then FLY IN THAT DIRECTION or you will encounter intense anti-aircraft fire, at the end of the Game you must be on the correct flight path or you will not find the enemy fuel dump. TWO PROPELLER BLADES: The Blue one is yours, the Green one belongs to the bomber currently in front of your plane. The propellers get worn away if the planes are damaged by either GUNFIRE or HITTING HILLS. When either propeller disappears that plane is destroyed. FUEL GAUGE: Shows your fuel supply Stay on course and you will be fine. Fly off-course for long and you will be an ex-pilot. BOMBERS GAUGE: Shows number of bombers still flying. Once they have all been shot down the enemy will concentrate on your fighter. AMMUNITION BELT & BOMBS: These will slowly disappear as they get used up After Long bursts of gunfire the gun at the end of the ammo belt will glow Red and your firing will become irregular.
