Wwii in Poetry

WWII in Poetry tells veterans’ stories in poetry including my late father’s, who was a Spitfire pilot in the Nigeria Squadron. It says at the end, “For free speech,” and aims to explain the reason for this most awful and horrific war through the real daily experiences or battles in the life of the WWII service person. This is to recognize its legacy, which exists in infinite and pervasive ways, like our digital space at work, our political speeches, or in the way we meander down the street with our partners hand in hand, whatever the tradition or diversity. So part 1 details Pearl Harbor, part 2 depicts struggles in the air, part 3 describes life in the navy, and part 4 consists of general reflections on WWII. The photo gallery frames sixty-two color-enhanced photos of the famous 91 Squadron, better known as the Nigeria Squadron, and altogether, there is an awareness throughout of the power of knowing your technology by its nuts or calculations because as my dad said about his Spitfire, “It almost flew itself.”
