* BilingualBonus: In the Playstation 3 and Wii versions of the original game, save the first mission post Pearl Harbour (when a couple of Japanese radio messages are translated) and the final mission (where the German is translated on purpose), the languages are left untranslated, with members of the squad occasionally translating snippets.

* BilingualBonus: In all save the first mission post Pearl Harbour (when a couple of Japanese radio messages are translated) and the final mission (where the German is translated on purpose), the languages are left untranslated, with members of the squad occasionally translating snippets.
** This is only the case in the second game, however. The first game is very much a flaming basket of JustAStupidAccent, for no Germans or Japanese are ever heard speaking their own languages, even when talking to each other.

* [[RareVehicles Rare Planes]]: The sequel includes several planes that were only prototypes and proposed designs that were never even produced.

* EagleSquadron: The first part of the first game is based on the TropeNamer: the American pilots who flew and fought for the British RAF before America entered the war.

** Joe can repair your plane to mint condition if you finish a QuickTimeEvent. Milo instead does this at checkpoints throughout the level.

* NoNameGiven: Despite not being an HeroicMime or a FeaturelessProtagonist, the player character in the first game curiously has no name. The credits even just call him "Player". Averted with the sequel, with Captain... [[WinnieThePooh Christopher Robinson]]?

* AmericaWonWorldWarII: Played with. The main squadron does beat the crap out of anything they come across and go on a lot of important missions, but random American [=NPCs=] die as often as other allies and they often have support from other allies.

* EagleSquadron: The first part of the game is based on the TropeNamer: the American pilots who flew and fought for the British RAF before America entered the war.

Later received a sequel the following year, titled ''Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII''. It tells the story of an elite secret American squadron formed before the United State's official entry in the war, as they assist several allied forces, all that while stealing or facing off the inventions of the Wehrmacht's Secret Weapon division.

* BloodKnight: Frank. Tom to an extent during the latter part of the D-Day mission.

* DeathSeeker: Frank (sort of. He does say, "Who wants to live forever?" at one point). Tom during and after D-Day.

** The end of the game has a tesla coil attached to your plane, which can give of flashes of lightning.

* NoNameGiven: Despite not being an HeroicMime or a FeaturelessProtagonist, the player character in the first game curiously has no name. The credits even just call him "Player".

* SquadControls: You have the ability to make your team do things such as repair your plane or fly ahead to attack the enemies.

* TrashTalk: No matter what mission it is, your enemies will taunt you, A LOT.

* AnachronismStew: The final mission of ''Secret Missions of WWII'' has the del havilland Vampire listed as the recommended plane, even thought it wasn't produced until after the end of the war.

* AmericaWinsTheWar: Played with. The main squadron does beat the crap out of anything they come across and go on a lot of important missions, but random American [=NPCs=] die as often as other allies and they often have support from other allies.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The writers of the first game seems to think that "the Desert Rats" refered to [[ErwinRommel Rommel]]'s troops.

''Blazing Angels'' is a 2006 video game about a (fictional) WorldWarII American Squadron, who fight for the RAF in the 1st Eagle Squadron at Dunkirk, over London and at Al Alamein, then get transferred to Pearl Harbour to train pilots just before the attack. After taking part in a bunch of Pacific missions, including Midway (twice), Rabaul and New Georgia, they get sent back to Europe for Operation Overlord, taking part in D-Day, the Liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge and a final raid over Berlin.

* AnachronismStew: Despite being set in the 1940-41 period, the sequel not only features several planes from the later stages of the war, but also an handful that weren't conceived or produced until well after the end of it (such as the de Havilland Vampire). Some of the plane descriptions acknowledge this.

* ManualMisprint: The manual of the sequel implies you can play the skirmish mode in single player. Except you can't.

* RegionalBonus: The PS3 version of both games had this since they were released later. The first game received two new missions and a new multiplayer mode while ''Secret Missions of WWII'' had a [[WackyRacing racing mode]] and tweaks to the difficulty of some missions.

* PalBonus: The PS3 version of both games had this since they were released later. The first game received two new missions and a revamped multiplayer while ''Secret Missions of WWII'' had a [[WackyRacing racing mode]] and tweaks to the difficulty of some missions.

* StupidJetpackHitler: ''Secret Missions of WWII'' goes absolutely nut with this trope. The giant Zeppelin over Caire and the oversized Tesla gun are only the highlights.

Later received a sequel the following year, titled ''Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII'',.

* FramingDevice: The unnamed captain is talking about his experiences in World War II as an old man.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Was succeeded by ''{{VideoGame/Hawx}}'', another series of unrealistic flight sims developed by Ubisoft Romania (though set in the modern days).
