Captain Wings finds himself caught between duty and caution when Princess Aubiliala, the rightful ruler of Thailand, arrives at his furlough seeking his help to reclaim her throne from her cousin King Phaya. What begins as a tiger hunt in the Kachin Hills spirals into a dangerous flight when treacherous allies sabotage their aircraft and Japanese Zeros bearing the Thai Tiger insignia attack from the clouds. With the princess determined to return home and the skies filled with enemies, Wings must use all his piloting skills and combat savvy to get her and her loyal supporters back to the capital alive.

Lt. Tom Briggs and the enemy pilot Capt. Von Heill both find themselves facing death after a mid-air collision over enemy territory—but instead of the end, they're offered an impossible wager by a mysterious force. The two bitter rivals must pit their entire squadrons against each other in a midnight aerial battle, with only the victor earning a second chance at life. As the sky-duel unfolds with ruthless intensity, neither man knows if they're truly fighting for survival or already caught in something far stranger.
