Scramble aircraft data is grouped together in "Global Theatres" and the encyclopedia provides over 750 aircraft for your Scramble dogfights. These have an index system to enable you to pit aircraft together in the appropriate areas.

Blitzkrieg, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz: September 1939 to May 1941.
Early war action with the attacks on France. Not many high powered aircraft in use.

Cross Channel Operations: October 1941 to June 1943.
"Tip and Run" raids across the Channel are quite common from both sides. Aircraft are getting bigger and more capable.

Bombing by Day: May 1942 to June 1944.
This is the time of the 8th Air Force and its daylight missions to Germany. The German defenses develop some unusual weapons to cope with the heavily armed B 17s.

Bombers’ Moon: October 1941 to June 1944.
Night Bombing raids by the RAF (but also by the Luftwaffe) are covered here, as are Night Fighters in defense.

D-Day – Back into France and on to the Reich: June 1944 to May 1945.
These missions allow you to take the fight on into Germany, but also allow for V1 interception and the use of early jet aircraft if you wish.

The Middle East, the Balkans and Crete: June 1940 to July 1943.
The beginnings of the war in the Mediterranean appear here, as do some of the side line theatres such as Greece, Iraq and Syria. Here you can try your hand with some obsolete aircraft on both sides.

The main battles in this theatre revolve around the defense of Malta and the convoys, as well as North African battles.

The End in Africa – Crusader, Alemein and Torch: November 1941 to November 1942.
These battles are the beginning of the end for the Axis. Better planes are available for the Allies, though the Luftwaffe can still pack a punch.

Italian Adventure: July 1943 to May 1945.
Campaign up Italy and after a time you also get the unusual situation of being able to fight Italians versus Italians and Germans after the fall of Rome.

Barbarossa: June to December 1941.
The first strike against Russia will find the Russian Air Force severely hampered due to the better German aircraft.

Ostfront – the Road to Stalingrad: January 1942 to February 1943.
The tide is starting to turn here. Russian aircraft are improving, though the Luftwaffe will still be holding its own.

The East is Red – Kursk to Berlin: June 1943 to May 1945.
The tide has now turned and the Russians can field aircraft as good as the Germans.

The Rising Sun: December 1941 to April 1942.
The Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and Singapore show how outclassed the allied airforces were.

Carrier Clash: May 1942 to February 1943.
The Battles of Coral Sea, Midway and the attack into the Indian Ocean are covered here, with the beginnings of better carrier aircraft for the Allies.

Macarthur Returns: October 1943 to March 1945.
The Allied war machine is now turning out better fighters such as the Hellcat, which will be a difficult opponent for most Japanese aircraft. The Japanese hold some surprises themselves though.

The Road to Mandalay – Burma and Malaya: 1941 to 1945.
This theatre covers the Forgotten War pitting Commonwealth forces against the Japanese.

Kamikaze – the Setting of the Sun: January to August 1945.
The end is in sight here. The Japanese can field some quite good aircraft, though they are going to be no match for many US aircraft.

There were several South American Wars of the Mid-1930s in which old biplanes take each other on.

*The Spanish Civil War: July 1936 to March 1939.
This was the testing ground for many of the aircraft used at the start of WW2.

As the Spanish Civil War, many early Japanese aircraft were introduced here. You will also find the American Volunteer Force in action here.

This section covers Naval patrol aircraft and the defense against the U-Boat.
