Description: A previous review stated, "The story is focused on the author's experiences/adventures flying the Kingfisher float plane from a cruiser patrolling the South Atlantic - hunting for German U-Boats, raiders, and blockade runners. "Current Events" listings open each chapter (roughly on a monthly basis) with information about what was happening on the war front(s), the US home front, movies and songs help set the stage / provide interesting context for each chapter. Sprinkled into the mix were fun stories from the author's youth and about the sometimes wild social life while stationed at Pensacola and at numerous port stops in Brazil - these side stories added lots of personalized color and provided a good feel for "What life was like back in those days /What life was like in the WW2 US Navy".
