It is a period post WWII in which the United States and the CCCP (USSR) were in a large-scale arms race similar to the likeness which led to WWI. The US and USSR in-directly fought each other which gives the name "Cold" in that neither actually experienced full out war between each other. The two mainly participated in several hot wars in which they aided nations which fought against each other. Despite the fact that soviet pilots flew for foreigh nations against US pilots, the two countries never officially delcared war.
