Combat Wings: Battle of Britain is a flight combat simulation game set in the Pacific and European theatres of World War II. Players fly through the air and destroy German and Japanese planes, ships, and ground targets. Battle is constant with realistic gunfire, explosions, and radio chatter. Some of the dialogue includes profanity (e.g., "sh*t") and derogatory remarks about German and Japanese soldiers.

After basic training at Santa Ana, the question then was what classification and training would Bradley receive: pilot, navigator, or bombardier. The decision on this matter hinged on a number of factors, none of them under Bradley's control. At a Classification Center he would take tests familiar to all who entered the Army Air Force, called "Stanine" tests. The Stanines consisted of a battery of tests, written and manual, to determine the individual's aptitude and potential for either or all of these three positions. The classification would then be made. But then other factors often intervened--things that seemed to confirm one's opinion that there was "a right way and the Army way." At any point, the Air Force planners might note that too many B-17s and B-24s then in combat on far-flung battle-grounds were returning from missions with the aircraft noses blown away--and with them, the bombardiers and navigators wounded or missing. Or, some analyst might decide there was a glut of trainees of one classification or another. As a result, the Classification Center would be ordered to effect a reclassification of the trainees.
After his leave, Bradley then left Kirtland for the Army Air Base, Biggs Field, El Paso, Texas. There he was assigned to the 330th Bomb Group (H) and met the nine strangers that formed their 10-man B-24 Liberator crew. An Order dated 22 August 1943 designated them as Crew 302-8-134 and directed them to participate in frequent and regular flights until relieved by competent authority. Crew 302-8-134 then had the task of training together, becoming a team that could function effectively in the many combat missions they were destined to fly. At that point everyone was eager and light-hearted about it all. Morale was great--they knew they were part of a winning enterprise. They were ready to go! Their enthusiasm was only later to be tempered by the knowledge that hundreds of bomber crews would perish in the far-flung battles to come. It was now late August 1943, but they did not yet know when or where they would go or when their combat missions would begin. They were a replacement crew. They were to go overseas unassigned and then be assigned to a Bombardment Group. They would probably replace a crew that had crashed or had been lost on a combat mission. 2ff7e9595c
