What arcade game is this?

I remember playing it in ~1984. You're flying above an aircraft carrier in side view and stopping enemy planes from attacking it. It's not Dog Fight or 1941. Can't find anything about it, and I only remember seeing it in one place.

1942 or 1943:Battle for Midway? There where a number of similar style games around at that time...

Na, those were top down. I want to say it had a dramatic-sounding name along the lines of Defender (no, that's not it). Thought it might be Flying Tigers, but that's not it either. Could I be mistaken about the side view? I don't think so, but stranger things have happened.

P-47?

Was it Tiger Heli? It's top down and the sound track was pretty dramatic for 1985. Twin Cobra was it's predecessor.
