The foreword dedicates the book to all Aircrew from the original British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The story tells of the crews' extensive training and subsequent activity in action overseas. The story of Joe's career tries to capture some of the experiences of aircrew during training and when facing the enemy. The author made the creative decision to tell this story in verse and dialect and addresses that in the foreword as well.
