You do a wonderful job of describing Wings by Cinemaware.  You don't fly a
Spitfire, it's in a WWI timeline.  They never tell you what you're flying
but I like to think it's a Sopwith Camel.  It has ground fire (not SAMs)
which you can supress, balloon strafing, bombing, dogfighting and trench
strafing.  It's a masterpiece (IMO).
 
I also like to fly Battlehawks which is a WWII pacific theatre simulator.
It has many historical missions like flying CAP for the Lexington, bombing
or torpedoing Jap carriers, intercepting Zeros and Kates.. many hours of
diversion here.
 
There seems to be a recent flood of WWI biplane type simulators lately.
Their Finest Hour, Wings, Blue Max, and The Red Baron are the one's I can
think of.  The last two are coming for Ami.
