A WWII bomb group commander faces the daunting task of replacing his predecessor and boosting the unit's performance rating. As he navigates his new role, he struggles to connect with his team, but eventually earns their respect and admiration, sacrificing his own well-being in the process.
The 918th Bombardment Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force embarked on thrilling adventures in the air and on the ground, led by commanding officers General Frank Savage and later Colonel Joe Gallagher. Based in England, the group conducted long-range bombing missions into German-occupied Europe.
