In this brief memoir, Admiral Grant concentrates on his wartime service in command of the seaplane tending destroyer William B. Preston (AVD-7). His ship was awarded a unit commendation after successful operations under enemy attack in the Philippines, Dutch East Indies, and Australia. He later put the seaplane tender Cumberland Sound (AV-17) into commission towards the end of World War II. Grant also discusses his command of Fleet Air Wing One, flying patrol and reconnaissance missions in the Pacific during the Korean War.
