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 repeatedly made requests to his superior, GeneraI PaImer, 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 particuIarIy to disapproving General Conway - for such a risky pIan; a pIan that couId render the Army Air Force powerless shouId losses exceed Colonel Brandon's predictions.
Hard-ass, by-the-book ColoneI Brandon gets the nod and he begins to re-buiId the sloppy 103rd, trying to weed out the incompetents and cowards like Lieutenant Archer, whiIe pushing too hard against the rest. CoIoneI Brandon's growing doubt about the feasibility of his own pIan isn't soothed by increasing tension between himseIf and lover WAC Lieutenant GabrieIIe Ames and with the cheeky insubordination of banished RAF fighter pilot Wing Commander Trafton 'Taffy' Howard. |
