Description from the packaging.

Sabre Ace: Make history or become it.

You're a Sabre pilot on patrol over MiG Alley. Suddenly, a MiG-15 rips from behind the clouds and into your sights. You pull back on the trigger, squeezing burst after burst until the MiG's nothing but a flaming mass of metal plummeting to the ground. You take a moment to catch your breath, when out of the corner of your eye, you see the glint of another MiG. As the traces from its cannons streak past your canopy, you realize these are two ways you can go down in history- as a Sabre Ace or as cannon fodder. Which would you rather be?

The Korean War.
A great time to be a pilot.

On June 24, 1950 at 0400 hours, the Korean War began when eight North Korean Army Divisions, supported by Russian-built T-34 tanks, crossed over the 38th parallel into South Korea and laid waste to everything in their path. On June 25th, 1950 at 1500 hours, the Korean Air War was initiated when two YAK-9 aircraft dove upon Kimpo Airport in South Korea and proceeded to tear up the field with cannon and machine gunfire. Ah yes, it was a great time to be alive. If you were a pilot that is. That's because the Korean War marked a first in history- all jet dogfights. Of course, as a Sabre pilot trying to lock on a MiG-15 that's going 500 knots, while another MiG uses its cannons to turn your tail into tissue paper, you didn't have much time to celebrate. But now with Sabre Ace, you can put yourself in the pilot seat and experience the absolute bliss of being a combat pilot during the Korean War.

F-86 Sabre.
The one, the only. "The Sabre." If the Korean War had a super hero, this North American Aviation-built, single engined jet aircraft was it. The F-86 was the first swept-wing jet fighter to be adopted by the American air arm.

• Engine: General Electric J47-GE-13 turbojet.
• Maximum speed: 587 knots.
• Armament: Six machine guns, HVAR rockets.

MiG-15.
The United Nations' forces didn't know what hit them when this bad boy shot through the skies. With its outstanding flying capabilities, the Russian-built, single-engine, swept-wing fighter was a terror to even the most experienced Sabre Ace.

• Engine: RD-45F (Rolls-Royce Nene) turbojet.
• Maximum speed: 564 knots.
• Armament: Two 23mm cannons, one 37mm cannon.

F-80 Shooting Star.
Lockheed built this sleek, single-engined jet also known as "The Shooting Star." It was utilized as a fighter-bomber/reconnaissance aircraft and is most noted for shooting down the first MiG-15 of the Korean War in what is thought to have been the first jet-versus-jet combat.

• Engine: General Electric J33-A-23 turbojet.
• Maximum speed: 516 knots.
• Armament: Six machine guns, 1,000 lbs. of bombs, HVAR rockets.

• Maximum speed: 380 knots.
• Armament: Six machine guns, 1,000 lbs. of bombs, HVAR rockets.
