As World War I rages in Europe a handful of brave American soldiers volunteer to join their French counterparts in learning to fly and fight for Freedom up above. They have come from all over the United States ready and willing to put their lives on the line despite their country's initial pledge to not get involved with the all-consuming war that rages throughout Europe. Few could have forseen the challenges faced by the world's first fighter pilots, as the aspiring aviators are assigned to a new squadron under the command of war-ravaged Captain and battle-weary American pilot- the sole survivor of a devastated former air brigade. With little encouragement from their fellow aviators and nothing to drive but their unifying goal of taking to the skies and offering up their lives in the name of freedom, the determined airmen set out to make history by embarking on the adventure of a lifetime.
