A Time of Fury
It is 1944 and world is a war. Europe is ablaze with a conflict that engulfs her like the flames of hell, leaving a path of destruction wherever it burns. The Far East, too, is being consumed by a furious struggle for dominance. In the Pacific theater, the Allies face an enemy possessed of great skill and a relentless determination. As the tide begins to turn in favor of the Allies, the enemy struggles ever more desperately to maintain the footholds it had gained earlier in the war.
However, both on the sea and in the air, the U.S. Navy proves to be more than a match for its 0pponents. One reason for this is the incredible striking power of the Navy's Air Force. It is instrumental in defeating the enemy in battle after battle. Within the Navy's air command, one plane seems to be leading the fight for an Allied victory: the mighty F6F Hellcat!
The Hellcat is incredibly powerful and durable, a real work horse capable of bearing bombs, rockets and torpedoes. Able to outmaneuver the enemy's best fighter planes, the Hellcat has established one of the best kill-to-loss ratios in the war.
Now you have the opportunity to fly your very own Hellcat. You'll be assigned to provide air support for the USS Wasp. This aircraft carrier has been heavily damaged and must make its way safely back to port. On this perilous journey, you must defend the carrier against torpedo bombers, rout the enemy from their island strongholds, sink enemy vessels the lie en route to home port and protect yourself by shooting down enemy planes.
Strapping yourself into the cockpit, you face a tremendous responsibility. The fate of the carrier and every man onboard has been placed in your experienced hands. As the signal officer gives you the go, you give your Cat full throttle and take off into the unknown skies before you. Just minutes off
the deck, you sight the first sign of trouble: a pair of enemy fighters bearing down on you from above...
