The compelling story behind Heroes in the Sky begins on September 1, 1939, when the German Axis power invaded Poland leading to the greatest conflict in human history: World War II.  With newly developed bombers and air craft carriers, these advanced instruments
of war provided a massive scale for death and destruction. Amidst the devastation of war, we find a young courier pilot living in the thick of bloodshed and warfare.  The young pilot, Emmanuel, is thrust into the conflict with the horror and reality of this nightmare right before his eyes.  The sky overflowed with steel birds peering down like hawks on a mission for complete annihilation.

Emmanuel then came to understand the concept of fight or flight; he pressed down hard on his accelerator and fled as fast as he could. His will to live overpowered his desire to kill, driving him to break away from the pack with considerable ease.  Emanuel raced home, fearing the worst upon his arrival, and as he slowly approached his hometown, his acknowledged fear assumed reality.

His town was ablaze below him and endless gunfire thundered around him. Everything that he once knew was gone, and what lay before him were alien battleground. Numb to his sensibility, he landed his plane and wandered amongst the carnage and destruction.  Stricken with anguish and vengeance he wandered aimlessly until a mysterious figure approached him. Emmanuel is recruited to hone his flight skills.

Though hesitant at first, Emmanuel accepts the proposition and enters training to avenge the lives of those he loved and lost.  Through training, Emmanuel came to learn his village was a ploy to bait the Axis by the Allies. This newfound truth created conflict in his allegiance; the Axis who started the war, or the Allied Nations, who treated his people as pawns. Emmanuel struggled with the notion that he would become another tool of hate. He came to understand that war was the cause of his strife and the true force behind the suffering of the perished.  Emmanuel departed camp and set on his mission; to bring peace to all those who had fallen.

"World War II is one of the greatest and most powerful events in history, and this compelling account of a young pilot will grip players as they re-create intense aerial combat," said David Chang, EVP of Marketing and Business Development for GamesCampus.
