I have Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe and it is very good (on a 486 - I wouldn't recommend
it on a 286).

I have seen a good review of Aces of the Pacific (again it needs a fast PC), but I've not
played it.

I have played Battle of Britain: Their Finest Hour (same people as did SWOTL, but slightly
older game).

There IS a group called comp.sys.ibm.pc.games
