April 1945. High in the sky above the Sakishima Gunto - the chain of Japanese-held islands running between Formosa and Okinawa- a flight of Corsair fighters from a British aircraft carrier has destroyed a flight of Japanese Nakajima fighters. This story captures the intensity of the last few months of the war in the Pacific. For RNVR lieutenant-commander and squadron leader known as Skipper, there is a personal problem to be decided. His captain has suggested he accept a permanent commission in the Royal Navy after the war is over. But at home in Wiltshire his father is eagerly waiting for his only son to come home from the wars.
