It is May of 1942, a squadron of Spitfires has recently been transported to the island of Malta. A pilot and his wingman are on a patrol of the island. Pilot Officer Reade F. Tilley and his wingman, Flight Lieutenant Henry Orwell, are flying on the northern side of the island.
They sight a group of Italian planes heading toward Malta.
Orwell: "5 bandits straight ahead, sir! Looks like 2 Stukas, 2 Falcos, and a D 5.20."
Tilley: "I see them, Henry."
Tilley: "Try to get around the edge, Lieutenant."
Orwell: "Looks like they are trying to get in our way, sir!"
Tilley: "Then mix 'em up, Henry."
Orwell: "I didn't know we were going to fly straight through, because I'm taking damage!"
Tilley: "Continue through, and then flip and give them the gun."
Orwell: "We are hitting them, sir."
Tilley: "Don't get ahead of yourself, Henry."
Tilley: "I'm going down! Get home, Henry!"
But, the valiant Henry will not go home. He flips and fires at the D 5.20.
And then a Falco, before being shot down himself.
The game ends with both Spitfires shot down, and the Italian planes barely damaged.
