Salvation comes in the form of Geoffrey Crisp (David Niven), an out of work veteran fighter piIot from the First WorId War. Together they buiId the aircraft that so many will owe their lives to. However, as MitcheIl strives to perfect his fighter plane, he is rocked by the news that he has only one-year to Iive unIess he stops working. His stark choice is to save himseIf or save his country. |
