Introduction:

Set during World War II, due to the radio communications being unsafe, the British military began training homing pigeons to communicate with the French Resistance and Allied forces. A wild pigeon named "Valiant," seeing so many of its kind contributing to the war effort, was eager to join in. Thus, "Valiant" managed to infiltrate the ranks of the military pigeons. Untrained, "Valiant" appeared somewhat inadequate compared to the other pigeons. However, fate intervened when "Valiant" was assigned the most challenging mission of WWII: delivering intelligence about the Normandy invasion to the Allies. Confronted with the enemy's fierce military falcons, can "Valiant" successfully complete the mission?

The story is set during World War II. Since radio communication had become unsafe, the British military started training homing pigeons for communication with the French Resistance and Allied forces. A wild pigeon named "Valiant," inspired by the contributions of its peers, was eager to help. Therefore, "Valiant" found a way to infiltrate the ranks of the military pigeons. Lacking proper training, "Valiant" seemed less capable than the others. But coincidentally, "Valiant" was given the toughest task of WWII: delivering information about the Normandy landings to the Allies. Facing the enemy's formidable military falcons, will "Valiant" be able to complete the mission?
