Your first priority is to mix things up with the enemy Zeroes that come in from dead ahead. Catch up to the bombers and fly in front and shoot away at the Zeroes as they come by. The B-17s help considerably with their huge numbers of rear gunners. While you can only control Donald, he's all you need...for now. You'll encounter two waves of Zeroes, each with about five in a squadron.

One important thing to note is that the crash conditions regarding aircraft are a little flimsy. Sometimes you can fly through the wreckage of a downed Zero, other times you can't. Other times, you may crash into a B-17 if you bank right to try and keep up with the Zeroes as they pass you. Just try again - odds are, you'll miss them the second time around. Fortunately also this is early in the mission, so restarting from this point isn't a major issue.


The moment one presents its tail to you, fly behind it and fire away. Don't worry about the B-17s - they can easily handle themselves.

It won't be long until the B-17s are over the target area and they drop their bombs. They'll take out the airfield in one go. There'll be some short dialogue between you, the bombers, and "Lady Lex", which gives you an opportunity to attack the nearby cargo ship. It's not essential to the mission, but you can anyway.

The moment you can, however, target the ''Horai Maru'', which is shown below.
