Introduction

遂に飛行隊を預かることになった「零戦虎徹」岩本隊長率いる、「零式艦上戦闘機53型」装備の艦戦隊です。
「52型」のエンジンと生存性を強化した性能向上型である「零戦53型」を駆り、熟練搭乗員を率いて戦いの空に駆け上がります。

The last command of Lt. Iwamoto, the 'Rei-sen Kotetsu', a carrier-based squadron equipped with Type 53 Zero Fighters. Improvements to the engines and airframe of the Type 52 resulted in the new model Type 53; it soars into battle piloted by skilled pilots.

Notes

The 'Rei-sen Kotetsu' (零戦虎徹) was a nickname given to Iwamoto.
