WWI air combat boardgame?

[vyrago]

Hi everyone. I need some suggestions. I'd like to get my friends into some WWI air combat action, but they arent really into flight simulation games. But they are big boardgame/cardgame nerds. Now, I only know of 2 games that might fit the bill:

 

Wings of War: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=24

 

and Down in Flames WWI: http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/7/Down%20In%20Flames%20WWI

 

Is there perhaps one I havent heard of?

Here is a Dawn Patrol image gallery.

But hey: work on your friends and tell 'em: every good pilot is needed Over Flanders Fields.

Not a boardgame, but the rules can be played that way:

and it's free.

It's about 40 years old, but Richtofen's War kept me fairly entertained when I was a kid and sparked my interest in WWI. It even models torque effects on turning. But at age 10 I never could understand why an airplane should turn better to one direction than to another.

As a kid I absolutely loved Dogfight! I played it for hours.

You lucky Americans - in Germany we didn't have all this!

There's also Wings over France and that has a computer version too - although the graphics are awful even with a few mods - game is still addictive and has some nice authentic detail and touches in there.
