CONGRATULATIONS! You found us! The Fight in the Skies Society is very much alive. I started playing in '87 and there are several hundred, maybe a thousand players around the country. We've consolidated into squadrons in Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis, Pheonix, Kankakee, etc., etc. Since TSR published the 7th edition in the 80's, the game is better known as Dawn Patrol. We'd love to hear from you, and maybe we can link you up with a current group. Also be sure and hit two web sites:

This is the Indy Squadron site, and you can see our link page to hit the official Dawn Patrol web site. Be sure and say hi to us on the forum, and ask any questions you might have there.
