The work chronicles the life of the author's uncle, affectionately known as "Bunny," detailing his experiences from growing up in Canandaigua, New York, to serving in the Army during World War II, where he flew missions in a P51 fighter. The narrative is enriched by personal anecdotes and family history, offering readers a glimpse into both a specific individual’s experiences and the broader context of American life during that era. The opening of the biography introduces Bunny as a young man with dreams of flying and adventure.

The author shares memories of his childhood, family dynamics, and the daily lives of those in his community, including descriptions of his parents’ courtship, the bustling household of nine children, and adventures in the surrounding landscape.
