During the preparation of this article, I became aware of a number Foreign Ace of Aces editions. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to get my hands on these in order to describe them with as much detail as the other editions covered in the Reference Guide. The only foreign sets released used either the Handy Rotary or Handy Rotary Deluxe books.

Any assistance in locating these editions would be greatly appreciated I will prepare an addendum to the Reference Guide once I have located some or all of these foreign editions.

18. British Handy Rotary Deluxe boxed edition aka Richthofen

The Richthofen edition was the Handy Rotary Deluxe set as released by Emithill Ltd. in England. The components should be similar to those previously described for the Handy Rotary Deluxe Edition in matte box. The main exception would be the rulebook which should be the same as that described in the Richthofen edition above.

19. French Handy Rotary slipease edition

Gallimard was licensed to produce a Handy Rotary edition in France. If the cover artwork is any indication, this was a first class production, The cover has a colorful depiction of a Fokker Dr. I flying above what appears to be a SPAD XIII.

Across the top of the slipcase are the words: "Un jeu dont vous etes le Heros une Aventure a Partager: Duel" and the game is titled "Vous etes l'As des As."

The game book covers also have color illustrations in the same style as the artwork on the slipcase except that the aircraft depicted are a SPAD and a D series Albatros. The cover of each book shows the opponent's aircraft going down in flames, a nice touch!

20. Japanese Handy Rotary Deluxe slipcase edition

A Handy Rotary Deluxe set in a slipcase was released in Japan. It was licensed to and published by Softbank. The slipcase cover art is the same as the boxed Deluxe Handy Rotary editions. The rulebook and illustrations appear to have been adapted from the Deluxe editions.

21. Brazilian edition?

Dennis Greci believed that a Brazilian version was also released but I have no information about it at this time.
