Unfortunately, as it is caught by a Zero, it does not end well and he dies. You will begin on top of the ship, where one sailor is attempting to make his escape by getting into a nearby plane.
The level is really quite straight-forward and all you need to do is blast away. Shooting planes right at the beginning of the level, where you are trying to run away, is particularly difficult on the other hand, in this level you really have the opportunity to blast them away with the. One of the more difficult hidden objectives of this whole level is to shoot down 60 planes, most of which are likely to come from the part in the PT boat and this level. This mission is quite fun, even at difficult settings, and not as difficult as your previous encounter with Japanese planes and the 50. In this part of the game you are once again required to take control of Anti-aircraft guns in order to defend the West Virginia battleship.
It is right in the heart of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, 1941, and the Zeros fill the skies and are driven towards one single mission: to cripple the US forces by sinking as many ships as possible.
