INSTRUCTIONS
It is 1942, and war is raging in the Pacific. The enemy's fleet
and airforce are growing in strength. It is up to you to restrict
their numbers in a daring solo mission. Your carrier will take
you as far as it dares, but from then on you are on your own!

Fly your plane over enemy territory and installations, scattered
islands and rough terrain. Smart manoeuvering and skilful
aerobatics are required to outwit the enemy planes; recovering
the mystery power capsules (labelled POW) will give your plane
extra capabilities.

Be prepared - enemy gunners have their sights set on you, and
their pilots are prepared to die to thwart your mission. The
carrier awaits your safe return - but have you the skill to
survive?
