In the summer of 1942 Jim Vernon, a nineteen-year-old college student in Butte, Montana, joined the US Navy's aviation cadet training program and by the spring of 1945 was flying F6F Hellcats from the USS Ticonderoga off of the coast of Japan. This memoir of his years at war provides a carrier pilot's view of the conflict in the Pacific during the final months of the war.
