The indecisive and long dogfight between Porco and Curtis soon devolves into a bare-knuckle boxing match when both planes' machine guns jam. The next day, the duel is arranged and a large crowd gathers to observe. As she falls asleep, Fio (and the viewer) briefly see Marco's true face instead of the pig. He blacks out again, and awakens flying low over the sea, alone. Porco soon sees that the band is in fact thousands of planes flying together. Allied and enemy aircraft, flown by the airmen who died in the dogfight-Bellini included-rise out of the cloud and fly upward towards the band, ignoring him. He recalls blacking out and awakening to find himself in complete stillness above the clouds, with a silver band shimmering high in the distant sky. Overwhelmed and unable to save his fellow pilots he entered a cloud to evade his pursuers. Two days after Gina's first wedding to his friend Bellini, his squadron was attacked by Austro-Hungarian aircraft. That night, while preparing shells for the dogfight, Porco tells Fio a story from World War I. Fio makes a deal with him declaring that if Porco wins, Curtis must pay off his debts owed to Piccolo's company, and if Curtis wins, he may marry her. Fio talks them out of it, but Curtis appears and challenges Porco to a final duel. Upon returning home, Porco and Fio are ambushed by the pirates, who threaten to kill Porco and destroy his plane. Stopping off to refuel on the way, Porco discovers that the new fascist government is beginning to hire seaplane pirates for their own use, thus putting him out of business.Д«ack at the Hotel Adriano, Curtis proposes to Gina but she turns him down, saying that she is waiting for Porco Rosso. Once Porco's plane is finished, Fio joins him on his flight home, with the justification that if the secret police arrest the team, they can say that Porco forced them to help and took Fio as a hostage. Porco is initially skeptical of Fio's abilities as a mechanic, but after seeing her dedication in the repair project he accepts her as a competent engineer. In addition to this, the plane is rebuilt exclusively by women with even old grandmothers helping, in order to earn money. He learns that Piccolo's sons have emigrated to find work elsewhere due to the Great Depression, and much of the engineering will have to be carried on by his young granddaughter Fio. Porco arrives discreetly in Milan to meet Piccolo, his mechanic. Porco continues the trip by train with the remains of the plane, much to the irritation of Gina, who reminds him that there is a warrant for his arrest in Italy. Porco survives, though his plane is heavily damaged. After successfully executing a pirating mission, Curtis tracks down Porco, who is flying to Milan to have his plane serviced, and shoots him down as he experiences an engine outage, claiming to have killed him. Curtis falls in love with Gina on the spot, but is frustrated to see his declarations rebuffed and her affection for Porco. Porco treats himself to dinner at the Hotel Adriano, which is run by his friend Gina.ДЄt the hotel, the heads of the pirate gangs are contracting Curtis, an arrogant and ambitious American ace, to assist them in their next attacks. In 1929, Porco Rosso, an Italian World War I fighter ace and freelance bounty hunter, fends off an attack on a ferry liner by airborne pirates.
