Reach for the Skies is a 1993 combat flight simulation video game developed by Rowan Software and published by Virgin Games for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS.
The game is set on the southeast coast of England during the Battle of Britain. Players have the option to fight for either the Royal Air Force (RAF) or the Luftwaffe. After that is the choice of playing as either the pilot or the controller. Pilots fly in missions and take out enemy aircraft. Controllers make strategic decisions for the battle. The game offers two control options: simple or easy. Simple mode uses basic joystick directions and a fire button. Help systems like autogun and autopilot are offered. Autogun fires the gun automatically when an enemy is over the gunsights. Autopilot flies the plane automatically between predesignated points.[2]
