Aces Over the Adriatic

‘I have yet to hear anyone engaged in this work dying of old age.’

–  James Doolittle

(1896–1993), American aviator and winner of the Schneider Trophy in 1925 

Between the two world wars, aviation experienced a breathtaking boom. Man discovered that they could tame the sky and go even further. Technical innovations, a thirst for adventure, frantic racing and freedom of movement: the seaplane represented the ideal means of transport that could go anywhere, sparking the adoration of a world yearning for hope after the horrors of the First World War. 

In Aces over the Adriatic, relive that epic flight over the warm waters of the Adriatic, flying for glory while taking care not to sink into nostalgia.

In this single-player role-playing game, all you need to play are two 6-sided dice, some writing tools and your imagination. No matter how much time you spend playing, embrace a sepia-toned sky over an azure sea, simply, with no experience required.

This game was produced with the help and support of the Musée de l'Hydraviation in Biscarrosse, France.
