What is the setting of The Last Mission by Harry Mazer?

The novel begins in the Bronx, New York where Jack was born and raised. The Bronx is a small community within the larger New York City and is populated by a large number of Jewish families. The Bronx is an intimate neighborhood that gave Jack a deep pride in his religion and a strong sense of family. After Jack joins the Army, he goes to Miami Beach, Florida and then Louisiana. These places are very different from the Bronx and begin to instill in Jack a deep sense of homesickness. Later, Jack is sent to Europe where he lives on a military base between bombing missions. Finally, Jack is shot down over Czechoslovakia and spends several days wandering the countryside before being taken prisoner by the Germans.
