In the early days of daylight bombing raids over Germany, General Frank Savage must take command of a 'hard luck' bomber group. Much of the story deals with his struggle to whip his group into a disciplined fighting unit in spite of heavy losses, and withering attacks by German fighters over their targets.

Gregory Peck is fine as is this typical war fair. Fine, not very memorable in positive or negative. A bit boring at times but does build enough at the end to keep interest for a finale.
