I no longer have my copy, but I remember there was a lot of info on the release of WC1 in the book called Wing Commander I & II: The Ultimate Strategy Guide. It's out of print, I checked, but someone may have it. Sort of had it's own "history" of the war, if I recall and was written "in the future" where WC1 was euqivalent to a WWII flight sim. But the last third of the book talked about design concpets, the roll out of the game and had an interview with Chris Roberts.
