The Crimson Prince

As Berengar had anticipated, his eldest son Hans was among the first units to respond to his declaration of war. Hans rushed into his flight suit early in the morning and hit the deck, where he was quick to hop into his Ta-152 fighter-interceptor, along with the entire fighter wing of the SMS Osterreich. 

They were to be the spearhead of the invasion of Borneo, along with the planes stationed in the Singapore, and Majapahit Air Bases. Their objective was to secure Air Superiority within the region, so that their strategic bombers could get to work against the Imperial Japanese Army on the ground below. 

For the sake of this operation, the carrier borne Stukas replaced their torpedos with bombs, before being launched after the fighter-interceptors. Hans felt a deep pit of anxiety in his gut, as he his plane was catapulted off the carrier's deck. As he took to the skies, Hans prayed to whatever god was listening to protect him.
