The player is required to select one side 'A' or 'B' in the conflict, and keep the save game for each pilot on a separate floppy.

Each pilot you can fly different missions and aircraft, but only those from your own side.

The player character flies from three land bases and two aircraft carriers on each side, and these bases can be damaged in several ways by enemy action, making them unavailable until repaired and reducing the available aircraft in the campaign.Mission types are:

air intercept
air superiority
long range bombing
bomber escort
close support and ground attack
border or sea patrol
reconnaissance
troop drop
supply drop
stealth bombing
stealth reconnaissance
test pilot

An autopilot mode is available for longer cruises, if the enemies are far off. The 'test pilot' mission involves flying the X-15/X-29 and is not a part of the campaign.

Directly from the game box:

NATO and Soviet forces have engaged in an all-out war campaign. Armed with 40 front line aircraft, your mission is to devastate the enemy's land, sea and air forces while protecting your own. But your enemy is unpredictable and constantly on the move, repairing and replenishing his forces and carefully planning his next attack. Birds of Prey is a unique simulation of modern warfare. You'll not only experience every aspect of modern air combat but you'll also discover the pure power of 40 fighting aircraft.
