Description:
Set against the backdrop of World War I, this period drama focuses on Major Brand and his 39th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps in 1915 France. As they bravely maneuver through treacherous skies, these young airmen face daunting odds: their frail planes are pockmarked with bullet holes, and their casualty rate is distressingly high. Despite Major Brand's pleas for better equipment and protection, the higher-ups remain deaf to his entreaties. Meanwhile, hotshot pilot Captain Courtney poses an additional challenge – his insubordination often rubs Brand the wrong way.As events unfold, both Major Brand and Captain Courtney will learn the true meaning of leadership as they navigate through life-threatening battles while striving to overcome their own personal struggles. With the stoic British spirit of "keeping a stiff upper lip," this film offers an intimate look at courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice in the face of adversity during one of history's most devastating conflicts.
