Official description

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 all alone. Fly your plane over enemy territory and installations, scattered islands and rough terrain. Smart manoeuvring and skilful aerobatics are required to outwit the enemy planes, recovering the mystery "POW" er capsules 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 you mission. The carrier awaits your safe return — but have you the skill to survive!!??
