You can take to the skies and reenact some of the greatest air battles of World War II in Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII. The game features squadron-based combat, which lets you use the individual characteristics of your wingmen to complete the 18-mission single-player campaign. Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII uses the graphical power of the Xbox 360 to accurately model battle sites--such as England, Morocco, and Pearl Harbor--and the 38 aircraft included in the game. Up to 16 players can battle via Xbox Live in both competitive and cooperative game modes.

My dad got this game for himself and could never get past the second Dunkirk mission, then let me take the game. Playing it again now, I can say I'm better than my dad at flying a plane now. Anyways decent game, I weirdly like the voice acting. It is cheesy in good ways. The gameplay is solid with the worst part being when there is exactly one enemy fighter left.

La version de pc es la cosa mas chusta que he jugado nunca, sin Vsync, sin minimapa, sin barra de vida, sin marcador claro de objetivos, sin selector de aviones... y no son cosas que no estuviesen ya porque he jugado también la versión de Wii y tiene todas estas cosas.
Quitando lo anterior queda un juego de aviones que se sale un poco de lo que había en la época, alguna idea interesante que otra pero todo queda en nada.

Cringey voice acting aside, this is a pretty enjoyable game if you’re looking for a Arcady dog fighting experience.
"Really fun but challenging with the inverted controls.
i liked experiencing WW2 from a different persective.
just wish the land targets were a bit easier to deal with"

This was my dad's game and while it seemed like the Wii would be a fun console for a dogfighting game, Blazing Angels just didn't cut it. The story and dialogue was okay if a bit dry, but the levels seems imbalanced. We never could figure out how to get past the desert photography level no matter how hard we tried. To this day I'm still confounded by that section.
There was a multiplayer versus mode here too but it also was pretty lackluster. It was a lot of swooping around each other trying to get on someone's tail but none of it felt all that fun. Maybe it's a better game on Xbox 360 but definitely skippable on Wii.

A pretty yucky Wii game
