Synopsis

This is the gripping, compelling saga of men and their machines and their lonely women. Men who have only one goal—get up in the sky in anything that flies!

The Captain—a man not to be grounded, determined to fly the last plane out of the war; Jennings—survivor of a terrifying crash, who kept his eyes turned to the skies all his life; The copilots, navigators, technicians, ground crews—and the two young women who tie together the threads of their lives.

They could live no other way.
