Based in the UK, the Duxford Wing draws it`s membership from
around the world, with members from the USA, Canada, New
Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Japan, Sweden, France,
Belgium, Austria, Brazil and of course the United Kingdom.
Our aims are clear and your orders strict - "you will enjoy
yourself"!
No. 10 RNAS, the "Black Flight," is a historically
based squadron operational in Dawn of Aces' Historical
Arena. We specialise in Scenarios Light and other historical
events. Dawn of Aces historical events are meant as
realistic simulations of WWI air operations and combat.
The 94th Aero Squadron was one of the first American fighter
squadrons to see combat service in World War 1. Though
America was late coming into the war as far as air fighting
was concerned, they succeeded in contributing greatly to
it's outcome with such personages as Eddie Rickenbacker and
Raoul Lufberry. Both men were members of the 94th, "Hat in
the Ring" Aero Squadron which was based in Toul/France, just
18 miles from the German border.
The 99th Aggressors was formed on Dec 9, 1999 at 9pm EST. We
are currently active in Dawn of Aces and a growing presence
in Aces High. The pilots of 99th A.S.T.A.G are a diverse
group whose main purpose is to have fun in online games
while respecting the rules of each specific game they are
playing.
It is with the utmost respect that we honor those that flew
and supported the 103rd in the real war when we name our
Dawn of Aces squadron after that unit. Our primary mission,
in the on line simulation, is to try to relive some of the
history of that era, learn what it was like to fly the
aircraft of the time, interact with people with similar
interests from all over the world, and have some fun doing
it.
The Arctic Crusaders were originally formed with members
from Alaska. They have members now from Australia, England,
New Zealand and are growing rapidly. We play and fight with
honour and above all have fun.
The goal of any air combat sim squadron should be, in our
eyes, to add to the entertainment value of the game. If a
squadron doesn't accomplish that, it isn't doing it's job
correctly.
We don't fly together as much anymore, and we seem to have
lost a few more members, but I'm damn proud to have flown
with every member of Death Incorporated.
In August 1916, the first few Jagdstaffeln were organized
and sent to the Western Front. Jagdstaffeln literally
translates to "hunting groups". These were the first German
offensive combat patrols. Boelcke's unit was called Jasta 2.
The Jasta served mainly on the French Front, feasting on
Spads, Nieuports and Caudrons. Hartmuth Baldamus was it's
first real ace, scoring 13 times in a D II, in late 1916,
and early 1917. The squadron never joined one of the well
known Jagdgeschwaders (they all served on the more active
British Front), but joined Jagdgruppe 5 (Jastas 1, 9, 41,
45, 50 and 66).
Jagdstaffel 18 was created to fulfill our need for more
realism in Dawn of Aces. Our members really make an effort
to land their kills, use realistic tactics and above all fly
German scouts.
Now that the calendar has rolled over into the 2000s, the
Dawn of Aces Squadron has continued to grow and excel. With
the New Year the DoA Stompers took their 5th straight Tour
of Duty title and were named Top Squadron of the Year in a
player voting poll. The Pig Stomper Squadron continues to
grow and excel!
The White Penguins came into existence in March of 1917 as
part of the American Expeditionary Force. Initially
comprising a squadron of 20 eager young pilots, the White
Penguins were scheduled to depart for England June 14th,
their ultimate destination the skies over France. Once they
got to England, they had lots of adventures, killed
EVERYBODY, and basically saved the entire world.
