If you're going to be a hotshot pilot, you better get yourself familiarized with what plane you're going to fly, and to help players do just that, Legendo Entertainment has released some info on four of the planes that players can use in the upcoming WWII flight sim, Attack on Pearl Harbor. From left to right, the planes below are:

A6M1 Zero Japanese Fighter
Excellent maneuverability and long range made the A6M1 Zero one of the finest fighters of its era. It could turn more sharply than any Allied fighter of the time. To keep its T-7178 aluminum body lightweight, it had a lot less armor and none of the "niceties" found in Allied aircraft.

SBD Dauntless US Dive Bomber
This plane was the U.S. Navy's main dive bomber, although the SBD Dauntless aircraft from USS Enterprise were caught in the Pearl Harbor attack. In the battle of Midway SBD Dauntless aircraft sank four of the Japanese aircraft carriers: the Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu.

F4U Corsair US Fighter
While the Zero could out-turn the F4U, the Corsair was faster and could out-climb and out-dive the enemy fighters. The Japanese named the F4U "whistling death" because of the high-pitched sound it made, caused by airflow through the wing-root oil coolers.

D3A1 Aichi Japanese Bomber
This WWII dive bomber was the primary carrier-borne dive bomber in the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early stages of the war, and participated in almost all actions including Pearl Harbor. These aircraft also had enough maneuverability to act as fighters when the need arose.

Legendo and CDV's Attack on Pearl Harbor is an aerial combat title that will allow players to choose a side and relive the action of WWII's Pacific theater of war as either US gunner turned pilot Douglas Knox or Japanese ace Zenji Yamada. It's up to the player which side wins the war, as either nation can be the winner depending on the player's actions.
