Flying into history – with style!

In the 1930s the launch of the DC-2 caused something of a stir – not only winning prestigious air races but also operating the original ‘red-eye’ service overnight from New York to Los Angeles.
Now you can travel back the age of elegance and style and take the controls of this legendary aircraft.

This outstanding simulation has been a labour of love for its creators, who have worked closely with The Aviodrome Museum in Holland who operated one of the only two DC-2s still flying today.
Choose to fly with two different cockpit layouts in one of the three external models – PLUS 39 beautiful historic liveries of airlines from around the world.

This boxed edition contains printed manual, with everything you need to get yourself airborne – with checklists and reference data all included.
