Porco Rosso (story)

Porco Rosso is an ex-fighter pilot turned bounty hunter. He plies his trade in his red seaplane. After being shot down by an American air bandit he goes into hiding to get his plane rebuilt. On his return the question arises, who is the greatest pilot in the Adriatic - him or the American who had shot him down? There's only one way to find out - dogfight.

There's a back story of a love story between him and a beautiful singer.

All this happens between the World wars, in the Adriatic sea.
