    The first few months of his service are quiet, and nothing more than training and a few small missions. After a while, he and his crew became like an oiled machine, working efficiently and nearly without error. After the crew’s first major battle, their plane, the Super Man, lands safely although it is filled with over five hundred bullet holes. With the Super Man out of commission, the men are transferred to a less reliable plane, the Green Hornet. While out on a mission in the Pacific, the crew and its plane is shot down, leaving only three men alive. Louie, Phil, and Mac survive for weeks, but Mac eventually succumbs to insanity and dies at sea. In the end, the two men survive for forty-six days, only to be captured and placed in a miserable POW camp. They shuffle around, but stay prisoners until the war ends. Although he has been severely mistreated by a sadistic guard, nicknamed the Bird, Louie survives and returns home.
