Description

From the game cover:
"A World War One solitaire and 2-player game.
Fly against...or as...one of the MONSTERS OF THE AIR!"

This game is a promotional insert in World War One Illustrated, Number 1, a publication of the World War One Historical Association. It was produced by Lombardy Studios, then a part of 1A Games publishing.

The games uses a simple, rock-paper-scissors chit-draw mechanic to simulate a World War One aerial duel between a British BE2c fighter, and a Zeppelin raider that is bombing England. It can be played solitaire, where the player draws randomly for the German Zeppelin, or as a two-player game.
