The German Air Force has been playing the war of attrition with the RAF, and at the current rate, would wipe them out. However, newbie pilot, John Bassford, is eager but terrified when called to do battle in his first mission, and makes several blunders and has to bail out. In his second engagement, the whole squadron is shot down and Bassford is now left alone against the Luftwaffe, being shot down himself. But he has a surprise in store when he awakens from the mission in a hospital.
