Synopsis:
Johnny's squadron is joined by Lt. Andy Blue, who inadvetently led his last squadron into a trap. Only Andy survived the encounter. The rest of Johnny's squad gives Andy the cold shoulder, because of his past. Johnny then explains to Andy that being brave and silent is a rare combination.

When the squad flies their next mission, Johnny orders Andy to fly above the clouds to look for enemy fighters. With his previous squad, Andy called for help and the enemy fighters destroyed them. This time Andy stays silent and bravely fights the enemy planes alone. Johnny eventually comes after him, but it is too late. Though Andy is shot down, he has valiantly sacrificed himself for the squad, redeeming himself.
