Script ? [as Capt. Derek West]

Four RAF pilots—court-martialed and condemned—escape their sentence during a Nazi bombing raid, only to find themselves hunted across the English Channel and forced to flee toward Norway. When they stumble upon a brilliant scientist hiding in a remote cave, they discover the means to strike back at their accusers: a Nazi seaplane and experimental bombs that will let them wage a phantom war that terrifies all of Germany. As whispered tales of the "Horsemen of Doom" spread across the Reich, the four pilots prepare for one final confrontation with the Luftwaffe.
