This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Ace of Aces is a flight simulator developed by Artech Studios and originally released for home computers in 1986. It was ported to the Sega Master System by Tiertex in 1991.

Players will assume role of a Royal Air Force pilot during World War II. Piloting a fictional aircraft called Hobson FB-61 Grim Reaper, players will fly around the Europe in various missions and engage forces of Nazi Germany ranging from armored trains to Ju 88 bombers, Bf 109 fighters and V-1 Rockets.

In the original PC version, the aircraft players controlled was a De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber. But strangely title screen shows a P-38 Lightning with RAF roundels. (P-38 was never used by RAF and only one plane was used for trial purposes)
