The Flak eighty-eight is probably the best known artillery piece of World War II. It was not one gun, but a series of anti-aircraft guns officially called the 8,8 cm Flak 18, 36 or 37, and could also include newer and more powerful models, the FlaK 41 and 43, although these were different weapons. FlaK is a German short form of Flugabwehr-Kanone (hence the capital K, nowadays one word) meaning anti-aircraft gun, the original purpose of the eighty-eight.

Trivia
- The Flak 88 along with the PAK 40 are the only WWII-era crew served weapons to appear in the Ace Combat series.
- The presence of the 88mm Flak Gun is curious as there are many modern AAA (Anti-Aircraft Artillery) systems in available.
