The player flies a single British Tiger Moth aircraft (despite the design dating from peacetime and being a trainer) on various missions against German forces.

The missions involved a mix of target ground attack and interception, all undertaken solo and all requiring the player to land safely at home base afterwards.

In addition to the missions the game includes skirmish-style scenarios, ranging from simple landing and takeoff exercises to dogfights through to attacking a large enemy aircraft formation.

4th Dimension brought out a supplement called Chocks Away Extra Missions which could provide a new set of scenarios but required the first disc from the initial release to run.

Hutchings then began work on Spitfire Fury, a World War 2 equivalent of the game for 4th Dimension, but this hit development trouble and was abandoned.
