Secret Weapons Over Normandy

Secret Weapons Over Normandy is a World War II-based flight simulation video game released in the winter of 2003. Published by Lucas Arts and developed by Totally Games, the game is composed of objective-based missions set in 1940s Europe. The player is James Chase, an American pilot volunteering to assist the fledgling British. He flies in the classified squadron known as the Battlehawks Over the course of the game, the player has opportunities to: capture new planes, add upgrades to his/her existing craft, and as the game puts it " to halt the most insidious plans of the Third Reich." The player's opponent is the German Air Force or the Luftwaffe, in particular the enemies being the Battlehawk's counterpart, the elite squadron of top German pilots, known as Nemesis, commanded by Oberst Krieger. It is classified as a simulation, though some believe it to be more of an action combat game.
