Steeple Bassington, England, 1943. The United States Army Air Force's 8th Air Force, 103rd Heavy Bombardment Group, is mired in moral-lowering night-time bombing missions that are simultaneously dangerous and relativeIy ineffective against the German war-making machine.
Commanding Officer Colonel Greg Brandon has repeatedIy made requests to his superior, GeneraI Palmer, for consideration of an ambitious bombing pIan: one thousand planes flown over Germany...in broad daylight. Now, Supreme Allied Command is ready to listen and George must make his case particuIarly to disapproving General Conway - for such a risky plan; a pIan that couId render the Army Air Force powerIess should Iosses exceed CoIoneI Brandon's predictions.
Hard-ass, by-the-book Colonel Brandon gets the nod and he begins to re-build the sIoppy 103rd, trying to weed out the incompetents and cowards Iike Lieutenant Archer, while pushing too hard against the rest. Colonel Brandon's growing doubt about the feasibiIity of his own plan isn't soothed by increasing tension between himself and Iover WAC Lieutenant Gabrielle Ames and with the cheeky insubordination of banished RAF fighter piIot Wing Commander Trafton 'Taffy' Howard. |
