Area 88


Area 88

Area 88 takes place in the late 1970s/early 1980s and is largely set in a war-embroiled Middle Eastern country called the Kingdom of Asran. The war uses mercenary fighter pilots, with its headquarters at a secret desert air force base called Area 88 . Facing execution for attempting to desert Area 88 , Shin reluctantly turns into a fighter pilot and attempts to serve out his three-year contract. Area 88 attracts all kinds of people with assorted and often sordid pasts. Among the other mercenaries are Mick Simon, an American who couldn't adjust to normal life after his tour of duty in the Vietnam War. Mick becomes Shin's best friend at Area 88 . Another mercenary is McCoy, a greedy weapons dealer who sells everything the mercenaries need. The commander of Area 88 is Saki Vashutal, who is actually a prince of the nation of Aslan, though his royal heritage means nothing there. There are only three ways to leave Area 88 : survive the three years (highly unlikely), buy out your contract for one and a half million dollars (difficult as a mercenary), or desertion (a capital offense if caught). Eventually earning his release after numerous setbacks, Shin returns to normal life only to discover he has changed and can no longer fit into the life he once knew.

Genre: Action and Adventure, Animation, Drama
