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