Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sky force war at 75% against Squadron 1945's 50%. Sky force war also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 9.0).

Both are free to download. Squadron 1945 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sky force war sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Squadron 1945 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squadron 1945 has 75 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Squadron 1945's written reviews are positive against 75% of Sky force war's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
