Miyafuji Yoshika's father is the inventor of the Striker units of that aircraft, which bring the Strike Witches in their fight against the Neuroi used. Mio Sakamoto was the first test pilot for this development. His own, also magically gifted daughter, until recently, however, knew nothing of his involvement, since he disappeared without a trace, when she was 10 years old. In the laboratory, in which the professor made his development, then passed through an accident that destroyed the entire building and it is believed that he too was killed in this explosion. His life motto was that you should use a self-given power to protect others, a theme that has internalized his daughter.

The year is 1944 and the world lives in fear of unidentified flying objects called Neuroi. With the old-boy old guard unable to thwart this deadly menace, humanity turns its desperate eyes to an aerial attack force with much nicer legs. Meet the girls of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, better known as the Strike Witches. These darlings of the great blue yonder may not have standard issue uniforms, but they do have all the right stuff. Where the average flyboy falters, these dolls blast aliens to bits in the bat of an eyelash. With a little magic and a whole lot of leg, the girls of the 501st are winning the war on pants, and aliens!
