September 1965, a flight of four F-104 Starfighters takes off from Da Nang airbase in South Vietnam on what promises to be another uneventful CAP mission over Gulf of Tonkin. One of the F-104s aborts and ground spare piloted by Capt Phillip E. Smith takes off to replace it. But due to his faulty navigation equipment, he enters in dangerous proximity to Chinese airspace over Hainan Island.
This is yet another historic reenactment using DCS World that brings a lesser know episode of the Vietnam War to light.
