It's a dogfight... you against the enemy! You're the pilot, gunner, and navigator all in one!! Enemy planes are buzzing you. Anti-aircraft ground forces are shelling you! Get an enemy plane in your sights, and FIRE! Try and shoot down as many as you can! If ground fire (flak) explodes in your sight... you're hit... you quickly lose altitude. Climb back up! Stay clear of the flak, because this week's game is Air Raiders!

The Manual said:
As always, you really should read the manual.
What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, AtariAge has a scanned copy of the manual online. Here are the hints it provides:
* Shoot down as many enemy places as you can the first time in the air. Don't refuel until you absolutely need to. The more hits you make, the more ammo you get the next time up!
* When you see flak near your sight, pull back on the joystick so you are climbing when you get hit. This way you don't dive as much when you actually get hit.

-To land, simply slowly lower your plane untill it's at 0 for altitude (you don't want to crash so dive untill you're close to zero, then slowly tap the joystick a few times) and wait for the runway to appear. When it does, press forward on the joystick untill you come to a stop.
-Make your shots count. Since you only get as much ammunition reloaded as hits you made each time up, it's important to try to make sure you don't waste ammunition. Instead of firing off your guns rapidly, try to wait untill a bogey is in your sights, and then press the button to fire a shot at him.
-While you can be attacked at any place at any time, the red zone is especially dangerous.
-If you're being shot while at a low altitude, pull up quickly, since you lose a bit of altitude if you're hit, and one crash ends it all.

My only tip for this game is stay above 10 ALT, that way in case you get "shot down" you won't hit the ground when you lose ALT.

Tips:
- It's advisable to completely finish one formation at a time, else you'll be busy searching singled out planes later...
- If you see other formations while doing that, remember the height where you saw them!
- Stay the hell out of the flak zone, unless it collides with the first tip
- The game requires sort of 2 different playing modes: In your first sortie shoot as *many* planes as possible. In every following launch shoot as *precisely* as possible!
- Be quick on the fire button, else you waste away your ammo with pointless rapid fire.
- Everytime you get shot, you'll sink a little deeper than before, so when in the beginning it's safe to stay 10 (miles or what?) above the ground, it later may require 15 or more.
