Out scouts have located two Japanese carriers within range of our aircraft.
Here's your chance for some revenge. You will escort Dauntlesses and
Devastators to find and destroy the enemy carriers and their aircraft that
hit us so hard five months ago at Pearl Harbour. |

Our first real encounter with Zeros and I had my work cut out getting the better of these
agile beasts. Sure they only take a few hits to damage, but you try getting those hits!
