Falkland Islands, June 1982. Even in Summer there is a chill to the crisp morning air as the British Task Force launches its fighters. The Argentine air force responds, and soon the air is filled with …. Spitfires and Mirages? Welcome to Dogfight, the flight combat simulator that lets you create fascinating what-if scenarios.

First published in 1993 by Microprose, Dogfight: 80 Years of Aerial Warfare was described by PC Zone Magazine as “a gift for the imagination” that “concentrates on the most important section of a flight sim, the dogfight.”

Dogfight provides three game modes that focus on pure air combat simulation.

Duel mode puts you into the cockpit in a one-one one battle right out of the gate.

In Mission mode you select from one of six theaters of war, then choose to patrol, attack a target, support other aircraft in an attack, or defend your territory. For more modern missions you also get to select which armaments to carry into battle.

What If mode you allows you to mix and match any of the 12 aircraft with any of the missions. What to test your skills in a Spitfire against a Mirage of Syria? Have at it.

Dogfight is a classic PC flight combat simulator that provides countless hours of gameplay.

The term dogfight has been applied to combat for centuries, but it wasn’t until WWI when the term was applied to aerial combat. A famous usage, and perhaps the first time the term was used to describe aerial combat, was in a London Times article describing the death of Captain Baron von Richtofen … the Red Baron. Oddly enough, the famous pilot was killed during a dogfight not by another airman, but by ground fire.
