What air combat boardgames came out in 2016, or are coming out now?

From what I can tell, board wargames on air combat nowadays are either from GMT, Legion Wargames and Dan Verssen. Am I missing any publishers?

For board games, I think that covers it.

From 2016?  Yes.

I also have one from Ad Astra (Birds Of Prey) and a Check Your 6 minis one, which are from around 2008-2010.

Wing Leader: Supremacy just came out from GMT. Great follow up to Wing Leader: Victories.

LnL has a WW2 8th air force bombing game that is out or out soon.

You can play it, but you don't get to keep it

Isn't there a "german fighters versus bombing stream" game coming out soon, or is that also by GMT?  Can't remember the title.

EDIT...Skies Above the Reich.  Indeed a GMT title.
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

GMT already has Bomber Command, Nightfighter and Enemy Coast Ahead

The Doolittle Raid is on P500

They have several other games as well. As far as air combat board games go, GMT probably has the most titles.
