After earning his wings and getting a commission as a Sub Lieutenant in the Wavy Navy, he's been posted to the Far East on the aircraft carrier, HMS Lancer. Callicoe's going to get all the action he wanted against the Japanese. Now he just has to survive the deadly game of flying an aircraft that's such a handful, the US Navy didn't want it!
