Wings of Glory
Story

Chris Kraai remembered:

During game play, you have several areas that you can go when at home base:

Common Room where you can speak with other characters.
Kill Board where you can keep track of each pilot's ratings.
Commander's Office where you get your mission briefings.
Hangar where you can choose and board your plane.
Upstairs where you can save and load your game.

You play the part of a young pilot in the American Expeditionary Force newly arrived in Thetford, England. Animated sequences keep the story flowing from one mission to another. The various squadron pilots each have their own personalities and the voice acting is very good. There is also a sideline friendship/relationship that builds with a local French girl named Lysette that is fun to watch unfold.

This game very much plays like Wing Commander, in the way the story flows and keeps you moving from mission to mission. In fact, it would be fair to call this game Wing Commander with bullets and canvas instead of blasters and armor.

MiGMan thanks Chris Kraai for the info.

Wings of Glory by Origin

The thing that set this game apart from other WWI era sims (Red Baron, etc.) was the story line.
