This movie is based on the events of the 1942 Battle of Milne Bay, New Guinea. It is highly fictionalized in its details, but the result of the battle is historically correct. The movie is a re-creation and dramatization of the actual missions flown in an online campaign version of the Battle, flown by the virtual European Air Force UK Squadrons 602 and 19, opposed by the Italian 51 Stormo.
