I see these available at Tumbling Dice:

Duel of Aces WW1 (Western Front 1918)
Scramble for Britain WW2 (Battle of Britain 1940)
…….
A Mighty Fortress (Defending the Reich 1944/45)
Mig Alley (Korean War 1952)
Wings over Suez (Suez 1956)
Thud Ridge (Vietnam War 1965/72)
Flames Above the Falklands (1982)

Nothing between 1940 and 1944 (Desert War/MTO/early ETO)?

Heck, until the last couple of years there was no WW2 at all…. I suspect more will come when the author has the time and enthusiasm, but to be honest the system's not hard to adapt to whatever you fancy.

just out of curiosity… are these just rules or games with counters and stuff?

They're done in conjunction with Tumbling Dice, and sold as a starter pack with the rules and between a dozen and twenty 1/600 aircraft models.

No ships included, and no hexes.

I easily converted the Battle of Britain rules to the early Pacific. You don't need in-depth data about the equipment as the rules themselves simplify so much, but you do need an appreciation of the relative strengths and weaknesses which make a modifier worthwhile.
