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 simuItaneousIy dangerous and reIativeIy ineffective against the German war-making machine.
Commanding Officer CoIoneI 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 listen and George must make his case particuIarIy to disapproving GeneraI Conway - for such a risky plan; a pIan that couId render the Army Air Force powerless shouId losses exceed Colonel Brandon's predictions.
Hard-ass, by-the-book Colonel Brandon gets the nod and he begins to re-buiId the sloppy 103rd, trying to weed out the incompetents and cowards like Lieutenant Archer, while pushing too hard against the rest. CoIonel Brandon's growing doubt about the feasibility of his own plan isn't soothed by increasing tension between himseIf and lover WAC Lieutenant Gabrielle Ames and with the cheeky insubordination of banished RAF fighter pilot Wing Commander Trafton 'Taffy' Howard. |
