Buzz Rickson is a dare-devil World War II bomber pilot with a death wish. Failing at everything not involving flying, Rickson lives for the most dangerous missions. His crew lives with this aspect of his personality only because they know he always brings them back alive.

A tense, brooding wartime drama where the thrill of flight masks a deep melancholy. It's a classic Hollywood look at duty and mortality, with the roar of bombers as a constant, thrilling backdrop.
