THE PLOT:
You are the pilot of a World War II bomber, returning to your home
base for refuelling. Passing over the enemy territory, you experience
a sudden jolt and notice a trail of flame and smoke following your
plane. You've been hit! You make a desperate lunge for the controls in
an effort to stabilize the rocking aircraft. Your worst fears are
realized when that horrible sinking feeling makes itself present.
Wrestling with the controls seems futile as the plane descends farther
and farther.
You eventually smash into the ground in a smoking heap. The plane -
what's left of it - is damaged beyond repair, including the radio. You
are miraculously unhurt except for several aching bruises.
It's now up to you to ESCAPE the enemy territory and make it back to
your home country. Use all of your logic and cunning, as out there you
don't get second chances.
