The author recalls his adventures as a young naval aviator during World War II. The story begins with the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor; proceeds through enlistment and flight training; and finally into action against the enemy in the Pacific. Along the way he meets an endless stream of outrageous characters and is exposed to a much larger world than he ever could have imagined as a young boy in Des Moines. He also meets his wife to be; ditches two aircraft into the Pacific Ocean; completes 54 combat missions; and is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
