Official description

1942 Pacific Air War (1942) is the eagerly-awaited release by Microprose recounting the exploits of the fleet commanders and pilots involved in the Pacific carrier operations of World War II. Combining beautiful graphics and a realistic flight model, 1942 promises to deliver the next level in flight sims.
Players have several different choices in playing 1942, from choosing amongst a series of single missions, to following the path of a pilot through a career, to taking the helm as an admiral commanding a task force in the south Pacific ocean. For all these choices, Japanese or American forces can be selected by the player to pilot or command.

Trivia:
If you go southeast of Hawaii you can spot Gilligan and the rest of the S. S. Minnow passengers standing outside their bamboo huts.
