Description

Gregory Peck stars in this war drama directed by Henry King. Colonel Keith Davenport (Gary Merrill) is more of a friend than a commander to his men, a US bomber crew stationed in wartime Britain. After a series of dangerous missions, the pilots are struggling and when Davenport is replaced by the callous Brigadier General Frank Savage (Peck), the latter's attempts to whip the crew into shape result in a deluge of requests for transfers.

However, young Lieutenent Jesse Bishop (Robert Patten) rallies his fellow pilots and soon they and Savage begin to develop a mutual respect for each other. The cast also includes Hugh Marlowe, John Kellogg and Dean Jagger.
