Does winning a copy from the Dragoons at Origins count? If so, then, yes, I ordered it  :)

I've gone one step further and played it a couple times. If you're familiar with the Undaunted system, you'll pick it up rather quickly. I was able to teach it to someone who had never played an Undaunted in about ten minutes. The mandatory movement of the planes, needing to keep squadrons together, and maneuvering to get shots in at each other made you think quite differently from traditional Undaunted. All in all, it's a great addition to the Undaunted series of games.

Despite all I said (in another thread) about card-driven games.............

I could be very temped by this;

It’s a good quick lite family wargame. Don’t look for a serious flight sim just the “feel” or essence of air combat. The card hand management mechanism works better than I expected but the Undaunted game system is already well developed.. Will be part of the Winter Gaming rotation.
