Notes

[1] Game design by Rod Hyde and Mark Shaw. Coding by Paul Dunscombe, Rod Hyde, Chris Orton, James Taylor, Stephen Tickle and David Whiteside. Graphics by Andrew McCann and Mark Shaw. Music by Paul Robotham. Disk file compression by Rob Northen; HD installer script by Richard Horrocks (Champ).

[2] Min. Requirements: 1MB ram.
Recommended: 68020 CPU or higher (for more colourful, detailed & faster graphics), extra memory (more than 1MB ram to take advantage of the Music option on the Preferences screen), HD.

[3] DAWN PATROL was classed by developers Rowan Software as an interactive historical multimedia title, whereby the player can take on the role of a number of fighter pilots from Germany or the Allies and engage in aerial dogfights and missions that actually took place during WWI.

[4] DAWN PATROL uses an enhanced version of the game engine employed in OVERLORD, one of Rowan Software's previous World War flight simulations.
