WWII - 1944 - Th e Pacifi c War Zone In the Pacific Fleet
Replacement Pilot Pool at Pearl Harbor, Ensign Bruce Weber receives
training in the new Grumman Hellcat fighter planes. He is then
assigned to a fighter squadron aboard a carrier. Bruce demonstrates
exceptional airmanship skills, shooting down several enemy
aircraft. After he has accounted for more than a dozen enemy
planes, squadron enlisted personnel repaint their hero's plane with
white engine speedring and tail to resemble a bald eagle. During
the first few months of the deployment, three of Bruce's close
friends are shot down by Kenji Okada, a Japanese super ace known as
"The Osprey." Okada flies a Distinctively painted Zero. Bruce
swears vengeance and searches for the Osprey on every flight. The
two aces eventually meet. The dogfight is long and difficult but
Bruce finally shoots Okada down. Returning to the carrier, Bruce
lands almost out of fuel just before the ship is disabled by a
Kamikaze. Fire decimates the aircraft and the ship is out of
action. Both are ordered back to the states, their fighting days
over at least for a while.
