Maybe they were trying to keep the game simple, but there are some better options out there even earlier than your game time. And I literally searched for two minutes to find them. There may be a lot more.
The Curtis plane even made a transatlantic flight! Granted, only one plane out of several that set out made it, and only 10 were produced. Still, the technology was there.
Are any of these in the queue or is there an editor for this game?
Man, they are two ugly planes!![:D]

Ordnance rained down on a freighter,....as they flew overhead I recognised the unmistakeable outline of L/Cmdr 'Mad' Jack McMad, adventurer, lion wrestler, raconteur and professional lunatic, chucking handfuls of grenades out of the cockpit.
I breathed a sigh of relief.

I playtested WPO, a hugely underrated game in my opinion. Glad you guys have brought it back out the closet.
