These three trailers won a contest held by the producers of Rise of Flight, a WWI flight sim released in 2009. While these are very short and designed as trailers as opposed to more substantive story content, they do display many of the cutting edge aspects of Rise Of Flight and convey a sense of the unique feel of WWI aviation.
