Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hey, there, kiddo! You ever wanted to be a Sky Pirate? Well, then have we got the game series for you! Created by Jordan Weisman and Dave McCoy, Crimson Skies is a media franchise and fictional Alternate Universe in which the United States of America collapsed in the 1930s into a bunch of quarreling nation-states. With the collapse of the federal government comes the collapse of the interstate network of roads and railroads; but goods still need to be transported across state lines. Stepping up to the challenge are air cargo services based around massive cargo zeppelins; but with modern air shipping comes modern air pirates!Basically, the series is an excuse to - in Jordan Weisman's words - "take the idea of 16th century Caribbean piracy and translate into a 1930s American setting." So far the series consists of a board game from FASA, a collectible miniatures game from Wizkids,a series of books and three arcade flight-based video games published by Microsoft Game Studios: Crimson Skies for the PC, an arcade version and Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge for the Xbox.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Adaptation Expansion: The novel Rogue Flyer retells some of the events of the first video game from another point of view, and as a result things unfold a little bit differently. Some secondary characters from the game, such as Fortune Hunter "Brooklyn" Betty, also play a larger role.

Ace Pilot: Entire series is based on this trope with several of the main characters being one. For instance, Nathan Zachary is a World War I Flying Ace.

Airborne Aircraft Carrier: A number throughout the series. The Fortune Hunters operate out of a carrier zeppelin, the Pandora, and most pirate gangs have one or two. Then there is the fact that each air force of the American successor states is bound to have at least one in their arsenal.

Acrophobic Bird and Aerial Canyon Chase: both these tropes are present for Rule of Cool reasons: It's just more interesting to have a battle in a canyon and low hills instead of open air.
