Two ex-pilots running a small aviation school get an unexpected jolt when a young man arrives claiming to be the son of their old war buddy—only to turn out to be none other than Harry Carson, the hothead they just fought in a cafeteria. What begins as a chance reunion over coffee in 1940 quickly spirals into a high-flying adventure as Dick Swenson, Tom Devlin, and their newfound companion take on dangerous missions flying warplanes across the Atlantic. With enemy fire closing in and their ships riddled with bullet holes, this scrappy trio is just getting warmed up for the trouble ahead.
