March, 1942. The Japanese have conquered most if not all of Southeast Asia - save for one island, Java, in the Dutch East Indies. As the Allies scramble all resources to hold this vital and final stronghold, Lieutenant Francis Drebbel, a mixed-race (Indo) aviator of the East Indies Air Force, and his fellow pilots must hold the line at all costs, flying the notoriously unreliable Brewster Buffalo fighter plane.
