It is March of 1947, war is over and Europe is trembling in one of most horrible winters in history.
Cities are still in ruins, economies are shattered, American, British and Soviet forces occupy most of the Europe. As you listen to the radio you would hear jazz, political news are grim as Allies still holding uneasy meetings on results of the war. Marshall's plan is not yet implemented, reparations and new borders are not yet drawn. Colonies of Britain and France using their weakened state drive to independence either by revolt or peaceful ways. Armies are being reduced in numbers as governments are trying to save money for restoration of countries.
For you living is constrained by food rations, electricity limitation as well as bombed out streets. After you left the air force, (perhaps for a new job?) one of your friends told you about recruitment for some African air force. Perhaps out of curiosity, you came to a meeting with the agent to find out that Imperial Ethiopian Air Force desperately need pilots and ground crew to support and maintain itself.
This is where we start our story.
