Synopsis:
Hop and Tank are shot down in the Himalaya mountains. They survive the crash and discover a secret Japanese base hidden near a salt lake deep inside the mountain. Hop and Tank base jump into the lake, which has such a high concentration of salt that nothing in it can sink including the Japanese planes. They two soldiers sneak into the base and steal a Japanese plane. After takeoff, Tank releases the bombs into the lake. The explosions cause the salt to sink to the bottom. When the enemy planes try to take off in pursuit across the lake, they sink.
