SOPWITH
IRON SKIES
THE SKY IS YOUR PLAYGROUND.
Hop in a biplane and fly. One hundred missions, famous aces like the Red Baron, and a new Quick Mission every time. Cadet is gentle. Ace is a real scrap. Bank, fire, and have fun.
The campaign.
Fly from Flanders to Africa and all the way home. Cadet is easier. Ace puts more planes in the sky. Finish a mission to unlock the next one.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
Pick a plane.
The Camel is yours from the first flight. Bars show speed, turn, climb, guns, toughness, and dive. Finish missions to unlock more.
Catch your breath.
MISSION COMPLETE
The sky is yours.
Easy as pie.
CLIMB / DIVE
W or ↑ pulls the nose up. S or ↓ points it down. Aim, then fire.
TURN
A / ← and D / → tilt the wings. The plane turns the way you lean.
FIRE
Hold SPACE or FIRE. Famous aces like the Red Baron take more hits and are worth extra points.
BOMBS & MAP
On bomb missions, put the diamond on the target and press B. Red dots on the little map are planes. Gold is stuff on the ground.
COCKPIT
Press C to sit inside the plane. Press it again to fly behind it.
HANGAR
Finish campaign missions to unlock more planes.
HOME FIELD
On later campaign jobs, hold FIRE on the grass to taxi, then press T when the HUD says TAKE OFF. Line up with the sheds, wait for LAND, press L. Tanks and bombs fill up. Cadet, Quick Mission, and Hunt skip this.
No password.
Type an email. We'll send a magic link. Friends can invite you the same way, even before you pick a name.
What should we call you?
3–16 letters, numbers, or underscore. Friends use this name to find you.
Fly together.
Friends mode is taking a rest. You can still fly the campaign.
Practice is you versus computer planes — start right away. Open a room or find a friend when you want a wingman. They join the next flight, not one that's already going.
Two teams. Last plane flying wins. Ranked needs even sides and a squadron. One-on-one is just for fun.
Optional paint for your plane. It never makes you faster or stronger. Flying stays free.
Hunt
Tap Ready when you're set. We start when everyone is ready, or after a short wait.
Hop out?
There's no pause with friends. Leaving a Duel counts as being shot down.
A friendly flying game.
If you're under 13, please ask a grown-up. We may keep a tiny note of how the game is going so we can make it nicer — never your real name, and never for ads. We don't sell anything about you. Sign-in mail is only the link to play. Plane paint is just looks. This is a fan game, not from the real Sopwith company. Need help? Write to the address on this page.
Got a grown-up nearby?
If you're under 13, ask a parent first. You can still fly either way. We only keep a tiny note of how the game is going so we can make it nicer — never your name, never for ads.
