FC2 was Win 3.1 and apparently there are ways to run Win 3.1 under Dosbox. The D-Fend frontend for Dosbox wizard even lets you toggle between Dos and Windows installs.

Interesting..... I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks!

Thanks for remembering - it was driving me crazy trying to remember the game I was talking about. I googled every combination of wings france 1914 - 18 and came up with nothing.

Looked interesting, despite desperately needing a good pixel artist.  But...

Was this created over a decade ago, or something?

Yes - I think it was a while ago. But I guess something in his code doesnt play with 7 and he  doesnt make enough money to make it worth fixing.

Getting off of computer games a bit, GMT makes a great board game called "Bloody April," that covers the same subject matter, at the squadron level. 

However, there is a Vassal module, that can be played remotely over the internet.

An interesting AAR shows the action:
