Spitfire! 1994

"Spitfire! captures the drama of the war in the air in Europe in 1939-1941, with scenarios drawn from the war over Poland, France, Britain, Malta, and Greece. Over 50 historical scenarios (5 of them solitaire) are provided, each featuring one or more fighter aces . . . The 40 aircraft types include the Polish PZL 11, French Potez 63 fighter bomber and the highly advanced Dewotine D520, the German Fieseler Storch, Focke-Wulf 200C, Dornier DO 17Z, and Messerschmitt 109, British Hurricanes, Spitfires and Beaufighters, and the archaic Fairey Battle, plus US and Italian aircraft."

This game extended Jim Hind's Aces High game system from World War I into World War II. Spitfire was the first of four projected games simulating World War II. Spitfire covers the early period of the conflict, from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the end of 1941, when the war became global. 3W had announced the 2nd game in the series but never released Messerschmitt. The other two title were not named. No Pacific Theater airplanes were released by 3W.

Note that Spitfire! is not related to the 1973 SPI release bearing the same name.
