Elite's booklet sets the game in the Pacific in 1942: the player flies a lone mission from a carrier over enemy territory, islands, and rough terrain, picking up "POW"er capsules for extra capabilities. The Spectrum and Amstrad versions roll the plane with keys 0 to 4, and the Commodore versions with the space bar.PDF p. 1, English textPDF p. 1PDF p. 1PDF p. 2, Playing InstructionsPDF p. 2, Playing InstructionsPDF p. 2, Playing InstructionsPDF p. 2, Playing InstructionsManual
