Pilots!
Today, we're flashing back to the Battle of the Coral Sea, which took place from May 4 to May 8, 1942. It was a military encounter of some magnitude between the Imperial Japanese Navy and the naval forces of the U.S. and Australia. They met in the South Pacific to fight a long-lasting battle that serves as background for this week's in-game event.
