This account highlights the role of Naval Aviation during the initial stages of the Korean War. The author, a reservist at Naval Air Station Oakland CA, was among those ordered to report for active duty. The author recorded many of their experiences in a personal diary. The book relates how the sudden mobilization altered the personal lives of recalled members of reserve fighter squadron VF-871. The squadron immediately began preparing to serve aboard aircraft carrier USS Princeton (CV 37). The squadron was a key component of a replacement air group aboard the Princeton composed of ¿Regular¿ and ¿Reserve¿ squadrons.

A total of seven squadron F4U-4 Corsair aircraft were also lost in combat.
