About this game
This game takes players through the three stages of US pilot training during WWII. By the time it was published in 1942, the Army Air Corps had already been expanded to the US Army Air Force. The board has a 38-space track illustrating the many elements of pilot training from the orientation flight and basic flying maneuvers through dogfighting and night flying to gunnery, tactics and precision bombing. The board has a built-in spinner with three rings corresponding to the stages of training.

Rules
Players do not move along the track. Rather, they spin in turn and place a wooden block of their color on the corresponding space on the track. They use the inner red ring until all red spaces have been filled, then the middle white ring until that is filled, and finally the blue ring. The first player to fill all the spaces wins. Duplicate spins are wasted, but there are opportunities at each stage to fill in missing spaces without spinning the number.
