This anime is called Area 88 and is a 3 part anime (4 hours long). It was made in 1985 and is one of the best anime to be released outside Japan. It's one of the deepest and most emotionally moving anime to ever grace our shores. It has everything from action to drama to romance.

Many fans outside Japan know only the game counterpart. The hit game Area 88 also known as UN Squadron in the US was based on the anime and released in 1989.
