Jane's Attack Squadron is a 2002 combat flight simulator developed by Looking Glass Studios and Mad Doc Software and published by Xicat Interactive. Based on World War II the game allows players to pilot fifteen reproductions of that era's military aircraft and to carry out missions for the Axis or Allies. Although it contains dogfights the game focuses largely on air-to-ground combat hence the title. Jane's Attack Squadron was first conceived by Looking Glass employee Seamus Blackley as Flight Combat a combat-based sequel to Flight Unlimited. The company continued designing the game after Blackley was fired in 1995 and it entered production under Electronic Arts in 1998. The team experienced problems with deadlines and funding during development with the game eventually being heavily redesigned and renamed Jane's Attack Squadron at the request of the publisher. These issues contributed to Looking Glass's bankruptcy and closure in 2000. In 2001 and 2002 the game was acquired and finished by Mad Doc Software a company in part composed of former Looking Glass employees.
