WarBirds: Dawn of Aces

He who conquers his fear of death will be the master of the air.

Taking off at first light from your secluded airfield, you begin the hunt. Your are a proud knight, not sheathed in armor, but surrounded by wood and canvas. Soaring through the air now, and high over enemy lines, you suddenly spot your prey. You pause a second to catch a breath, and with the sun to your back bank your aeroplane into a steep dive, whining toward your enemy.

As you bear down on the unsuspecting aviator, the words of your first flight instructor still ring in your ears, "He who conquers his fear of death will be the master of the air." Indeed, those that follow the belief survive, those who don't go down in flames. You're in range now, ravaging the enemy's backside with bullets as your machine gun spouts flame and hot metal. Then it happens - you make eye contact, and as quickly as it began, it ends, your victim spinning and falling from the sky in a gyrating dance of death.

Suddenly you realize, it could have just as easily been you.
