Lt. Johnny Cloud's plane sinks with a load of special magnetic torpedoes, but he failed against a Nazi killer ship, and lost Swift Hawk... Cloud recalls how, as a boy, a hawk saved him from a wolf. Now another "Swift Hawk is his "co-pilot". The hawk leads C flight through cloud cover to a killer ship targeting Merchant Marine vessels. Swift Hawk suicide-bombs a plane as Johnny's sinks to the bottom. Yet the explosion jars loose the torpedoes and frees him - to find a new-hatched "Little Swift Hawk" waits back at base.
