brave actions helped lead the U.S. to victory, and Falcon, we can't thank you enough. While I'd love to stay and chat, the Japanese won't defeat themselves. At ease, pilot. Until the next mission.

Your quick thinking

Drag the cards to the correct place of the timeline. The letters will reveal the missing message for you to move on.

we need to get a message back to HQ! Reinforcements are needed on Omaha Beach, STAT! This old radio is all we have left. We've got to adjust the dials to get the right frequency. We don't have much time- our guys are dying out there!

Falcon,

It's your time to shine. Lead the bombers towards the shore, and then we will rendezvous ASAP to figure out next steps. Think you got it? Good.

OK, Pilot.
