But _not_ unavailable, I think. The designer (J.D. Webster) bought the 
remaining stock of AirSup and the AtG module Air Strike as part of 
getting the rights back from GDW, and sells them (boxless) from home. I 
can check and pass on more details if Steven or anyone else is 
interested. 

The game itself evolved into the "The Speed of Heat", a 
1940's-to-Vietnam-era game published by Clash of Arms Games. JD keeps 
telling us that "Standing Guard", a module covering European aircraft, 
is coming, but no-one knows when. CoA also have two WW2 games designed 
by JD which use a similar flight model.
