Story:
The planes are faster, the engines are bigger, the guns are more powerful, and the women more beautiful. Welcome to the world of Crimson Skies… The year is 1937. The United States has shattered under the weight of the Great Depression, regional Prohibition and mounting isolationism. The transcontinental railroad and the budding highway system have become useless as they now cross hostile borders. Commerce and trade leave the ground as air travel -once a national obsession - now becomes a vital lifeline connecting allied countries.
Giant zeppelins crisscross the skies, carrying both passengers and cargo. It is a time of gunship diplomacy and airship piracy. It is the age of the fighter pilot and a time of daredevil adventure and sinister intrigue. It is the world of Crimson Skies…
Fearless adventurers. Sinister plotters. Bloodthirsty sky-pirates. Militia heroes. From fearsome cutthroat "Marshal" Bill Redmann to heroic Charlotte "Charlie" Steele, from daredevil Loyle "Show-stopper" Crawford to the enigmatic Black Swan… these are some of the most prominent and dangerous pilots plying their deadly trade in the skies above fractured North America!
The skies above North America are dominated by all sizes of aircraft, from the nimble J2 Fury to the deadly Hughes Devastator. As distinctive as the pilots that fly them, these aircraft are flown in battle from the towering skyscrapers of the Empire State to the jeweled islands of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i.
With the collapse of the United States and the rise of aviation, many aircraft manufacturing firms have seized the opportunity inherent in chaos. Some have cast their lot with their home nations; others will sell to anyone with ready cash. Lockheed, Marquette, Hughes… these are just some of the movers and shakers in the world of Crimson Skies!
