The US NES cover art portrays a human pilot, which seems misleading as the game's main characters, Red Baron and Blue Max, are actual birds along with the whole game taking place during World War I in the country of Bird Land which is inhabited by birds, and not the actual United States as depicted on the box cover.

Does the US manual also show birds? Because I know that often time these sorts of marketing localisation changes end up failing to apply to manuals. (Since I posted a few facts about it lately, Alice's design in the manual and box for Balloon Kid are completely different)
