Following its attack on the Japanese oil refineries at Palembang, the British Pacific Fleet moved to Sydney, Australia and became a task force of the US Navy. It was assigned to protect the left flank of the invasion of Okinawa. Its four aircraft carriers were tasked with attacking Japanese bases in the Sakishima Islands where Kamikaze planes were fueled and armed to attack the US fleet off Okinawa.
This is your first mission, timed to coincide with the US landings on Okinawa. You are assigned to attack a Japanese airfield to stop the planes there from intercepting the Avenger bombers that will be following you. Ramrod missions such as this preceded every BPF bomber attack.
You are the lead flight, tasked with degrading the Japanese AAA so your fellow Corsairs can strafe the Japanese aircraft.
