It's December 7, but the year is 1941. You are "Petty Officer Jiro Matsui" of the Imperial Japanese Navy, on an aircraft carrier sailing near Hawaii. As a naval aviator, it is your mission to attack the "lazy, degenerate, Americans" at military bases in Hawaii and cause as much damage as possible. You don't know it yet, but this operation is part of a multi-pronged operation to attack the colonies and bases of the colonial powers in Asia and establish "The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." It's time to take off to test the mettle of the Americans and sink their Pacific fleet. Banzai!
