Sit comfortably and watch first of movies from this mission. This one presents you two main characters of the game: Henry Walker and Donald Who-Knows-Me, both from US Navy forces (last one from airforces). Both of them, unaware of what expect for them in a moment, are going to Pearl Harbor, American navy base on Hawaii. [#1] On this movie you see also take-off of Japanese aircrafts preparing for the attack on this American base. Henry will give up with his friend on the wharf and will catch his boat - PT 23, type Elco patrol boat. At that moment you start off. Your first task - to sail to the USS "Phoenix" (1), where Henry serves as a Lieutenant. Proceed straight a little, then turn right and once again right - it's rather hard to get lost. [#2]

Phoenix's location in the port is marked on the compass in the upper right corner of the screen with a yellow triangle, additionally it's also indicated by a blue triangle on your screen. [#3] Henry will not embark this warship though, cause USS "Phoenix" will be unexpectedly attacked by the Japanese. [#4]

You'll see a real hell in the harbor, next flights of Japanese aircrafts furiously attacking following American warships mooring at the wharf. Join the battle by shooting down enemy airplanes with your .50 cal machineguns your patrol boat is armed with. Don't stand in one place because you're easy to hit - sail pretty fast all over the harbor but take a look around from time to time to avoid crashing into the wharf or mooring warships. [#5] Use your binoculars and zoom in when shooting at enemies flying by in the distance - take an adjustment "at a guess" on their movement. You can also assign targets for your crew by right-clicking them. [#6] If you have shot down at least 30 enemy planes (*) you've completed also hidden objective.

In this mission you don't have an access to the map, unfortunately. Your mission all the time is to survive the first attack wave (2). It shouldn't be so difficult for you to complete this task but it can't be said about the rest of American units. A moment later you will be given another opportunity to show your skills - the port will be penetrated by enemy mini-submarine and your next task is to sink her (3). [#7] Proceed in the direction of yellow triangle on the screen, which marks the location of this small ship. Switch weapons for depth charges with your Shift key, slow down a little when sailing over the mini-sub and treat her with them. Probably you won't be able to sink her at first run so turn back, pursue her and attack again. Min-sub should head to the bottom now (actually she will emerge) and the task is completed. [#8]

Your small ship has managed to survive (4). See another short cutscene showing this Hell on Earth here, in Pearl Harbor. [#9] Now it's time to play as Donald who has managed to take-off in his fighterplane. This time you're attacking again enemy aircrafts but during their return to the carriers now - take a revenge for Pearl Harbor on them (5). Pursue them on max. speed and when you're close enough: slow down to avoid passing by the enemy or worse - crashing into him. [#10] Then shoot down every plane you can.

Japanese aircrafts approach the carriers with an intention to land on them of course - this is good moment to hunt them down. Remember that you can take aim precisely by zooming in your view with middle-mouse button. Hurry up because Japanese disappears after the landing, using the lift to go down under the deck. [#11] After destroying the last enemy airplane mission will end successfully - as far as Donald is still alive (6). Just contemplate only another short movie presenting the scenery after the battle and this embarrassing defeat of US Navy. [#12]
