Plumeria No Koro. (Holly NOVELS 1945-Series)

[Machine Translation] When the Japanese Imperial Navy was advancing south at breakneck speed after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hajime Aragaki arrived at Rabaul, the flower of the air force, a frontline base in the south. Kazui's dream is to return to the interior with a successful war record and rise in the ranks. He is delighted to be selected as a reconnaissance officer for the Type 99 naval bomber flown by Ensign Takai Chitose, but the man he is introduced to, Ensign Takai Chitose, appears to be a soft-hearted aristocrat who is merely a decorated Ensign. Moreover, he is afraid of heights, which is unbecoming of a member of the air force. Kazui is depressed and tries his best to get along with the Ensign, but he discovers another secret... Can Kazui and Chitose become a true pair? A sad coming-of-age story of an uneven pair.
