I was looking for an intermediate scale between GMT's Wing Leader and Fighting Wings series that could be converted to hex and counter which I did via Vassal. Above the Clouds abstracts a few things but gives the feel of air-combat without onerous pages of rules. Above the Clouds has quite a few expansions from WWI to modern era with specific WWII expansions covering specific campaigns.
Only thing I would suggest to the designer is to consider adding more scenarios to support the series. IMHO this is a great club game for a group of players.
Ran our first two games during our monthly Tabletop Gamers day at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum in Pittsburgh with 1/72 airplanes and no hexes (used 4" tongue depressors marked with 60 degree angles on the end to lay out hex-simulation movement). Simple and decent realism for the simplicity, fast to teach and fast and fun to play. I will definitely make this one of my main recurring games.
