 The Background story of Flying Shark is sparse and minimal with the game only explaining it on his flyer:
-"The war was in its final stages and our base was almost completely occupied by enemy forces. We finally asked him to take on a mission, hoping for a chance of survival. People called him “Flying Shark" ". <ref>https://archive.org/details/arcadeflyer_hi-shou-zame_JP/page/n1/mode/2up</ref>
+"The war was in its final stages and our bases were almost completely occupied by enemy forces. Finally, we asked him for a mission, hoping he would be able to save our lives. People called him “flying shark." "
 The UK version of the arcade game removes the line which reflects that the enemy is close to the base but is otherwise exactly the same story. <ref>https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/11763</ref>

-The game is by the gameplay and inspiration a reenactment of the Chinese Civil War with the Flying Shark being part of an independent non communist or capitalist community which recovers terrain for his people while destroying NATO (French/United States) armies and Soviet Union armies.

This in turn shows that the game is set in 1946-1949 by both military forces of the Soviet Union and the United States forces (Nationalistic Forces) using old assets from both wars for the end of the Chinese Civil War and the start of the Vietnam War, this is congruent by the Japanese participation in the war which means that this inspiration was ever present in the minds of japanese citzens who lived close to this time period like the Toaplan Staff.
