Bombs Away!

Bombs Away! is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire wargame using a tables-based game engine simulating the USAAF 8th Air Force precision daylight bombing campaign against Germany during 1942-1945.

As the pilot of a United States Army Air Force B-17 heavy bomber during 1942-1945, your ultimate goal is to complete either 25 or 35 bombing missions inside Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, while at the same time bringing your aircraft and crew home safely.
