U.S-based developer and publisher Destineer has recently announced a new flight action game for the Nintendo DS called Spitfire Heroes: Tales of the Royal Air Force.

Dating back to spring of 1940, World War II is well underway as German forces occupy Europe and prepared their invasion of Britain. As a pilot of the Royal Air Force, you are to join a squad of Spitfires (these are jets) to take out these vile enemies. Below are the features:

• Fast-Paced Air Combat: Roll, shoot, bomb, and maneuver your way through some of the toughest opponents ever to take to the skies. Earn medals and ranks as you progress through the course of World War II – if you survive!
• Exciting Mission-Based Gameplay: Enter into frenzied dogfights with German fighters, strafe columns of enemy tanks, cover the evacuation of Allied troops, knock buzz bombs out of the sky with a tip of your wing and more in an expansive campaign that recreates some of the most famous battles of the war.
• Robust Multiplayer: Survive the Air Campaign and select your favorite fighter to combat your friends. Up to four players can go head-to-head via Nintendo DS Wireless Communications.
