A few bombs fall on the prison of Tours, killing the officials and guards overseeing Clement's execution. The bombs also damage the prison walls. Clement, who survives, the bombing, sees his chance to escape. He joins one of the large columns of civilian refugees fleeing South out of the way of the invading German armies. Clement hitchhikes and is picked up by a small truck carrying French soldiers. On a main road, the truck is strafed by a German fighter plane and overturns in a ditch. Clement apparently is the only survivor and decides to steal the uniform and military identity papers of a dead French Army Sergeant. By assuming the dead man's identity, Clement becomes Sergeant Maurice Lafarge. He joins other disparaged groups of French soldiers retreating to the yet unoccupied Southern France. When they reach a small French port on the Mediterranean Sea, past Bordeaux, many French soldiers are faced with the dilemma of whether to surrender to the approaching German troops or sail away on any ship willing to take them elsewhere. Some of them intend to sail to Britain while others want to sail to French Equatorial Africa where a Free French Army is forming with the aim of continuing the fight against Germany. Clement wants to disappear but many French soldiers urge him to join them in sailing to Africa to join the ranks of the newly forming Free French Forces there. The prospects of escaping France under the guise of a French soldier, and the idea of a regular army pay, food and shelter convinces Clement to join the others on their way to Africa. During the sea crossing, they all learn that in Britain, French General Charles De Gaulle, has rallied the French troops escaping the German encirclement at Dunkirk under his banner in England. In French Equatorial Africa, Clement re-born as Sergeant Maurice LaFarge gains the respect of his comrades and superiors through his actions and leadership. While continuing to dream of running away, Clement manages to stick with his men through thin and thick and win medals and raise in rank to the rank of Lieutenant. In the dense African jungle of the interior, they clear the trees and build a landing strip for Allied warplanes. Tough work and bouts of Malaria put a heavy strain on all of them. However, for Clement, the danger of being unmasked as an impostor and a fugitive criminal is becoming more real by the day and is a bigger threat than the war. Things come to a head when the fiancée of the real Maurice Lafarge, who died in France, shows up looking for him. To make matters worse, former comrades of the real Maurice LaFarge also show up at the Free French Forces headquarters at Fort Lamy, Chad and in Brazzaville, Congo. Sooner or later some of these individuals could face Clement and unmask him as an impostor, possibly sending him in front of a court-martial for impersonating an officer or, worse, unmasking him as the murderer who escaped the guillotine in France.

Without a ship, Hoskins is temporarily reassigned as an instructor at Quonset Point, Rhode Island. In 1944, Hoskins is finally sent to the front lines. He's given command of the USS Princeton (CVL-23) involved in the on-going Philippine campaign. When Hoskins arrives to replace the current Captain of the Princeton, as part of the routine rotation of skippers practiced by the Navy, he is told to assist the Princeton's Captain rather than take over command of the ship. The reason being that the Princeton's skipper, Capt. William Buracker, is already briefed on the on-going operation and it would take too much time for the Navy to bring Hoskins up to speed. However, Hoskins agrees to serve on the ship as prospective commanding officer under Buracker's command. During the battle operations, the Princeton is crippled by a Japanese dive-bomber. The resulting fire sets-off explosions in the fuel and ammunition stores. Capt. Hoskins assists the crew in battling the raging fires but a huge explosion wounds him and severs his right foot. The Princeton is abandoned and sinks. Hoskins recovers at a naval hospital in Philadelphia where the new Princeton is being build. He is determined to learn to walk with a prosthetic foot and stay-on in active duty. During the following months, Capt. Hoskins fights the Navy panel convened to retire him off. He persuades the panel to allow him to remain in active duty but faces the prospect of being assigned to a permanent desk job. Nevertheless, Hoskins remains in the service and is totally surprised to learn that he is given command of the newly built USS Princeton (CV-37). Out of love and admiration, many servicemen and friends call him 'Uncle John' or 'Peg-Leg'. After the war, Hoskins is promoted to Rear-Admiral and transferred to San Diego where he advocates the use of the new jet-fighters on aircraft-carriers. Despite the Navy's reluctance, Hoskins demonstrates to the Navy brass that jets can safely be used on the decks of the carriers. As a result, the Navy gives him command of the carrier division for aircraft operation at sea and he joins Admiral Struble's 7th Fleet. When the Korean War breaks-out, Hoskins' idea of using jets on aircraft-carriers proves to be valuable and efficient. In 1951, he's given the choice of two other important assignments but he declines. Looking forward to retirement, Hoskins requests and is assigned to the Military Air Transport Service where he coordinates logistics by air transport for all branches of service.
