Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAR : Carrier air wing

Carrier Air Wing is an arcade game that was released in 1990 by Capcom. It uses the CPS-2 arcade system.A solid and hugely playable sequel to 1989's superb sideways scrolling shoot-em-up, "U.N. Squadron". As with the original, players chose any one of three different jet fighters and battle their way through ten enemy-packed stages. Another idea carried over from "U.N. Squadron" is the end-of-level shop, which allows players to buy weapon and shield upgrades for their jet fighter.

Trivia

This game is known in Japan as "U.S. Navy".

The guy who looks like Sean Connery looks even more like Sean Connery in the Japanese verison of the game ("U.S. Navy") than in the American version (Carrier Air Wing).
