Synopsis:
Johnny leads two rookie pilots on a routine mission when they spring a Nazi trap. Johnny shoots down most of the enemy planes, but his own plane is shot down by a Nazi ace in a similar plane design to one that killed his father's brothers during the first World War. The Nazi ace lands his plane to search for Johnny on the ground, but despite being outgunned, Johnny defeats his opponent. His victory brings redemption to his father for the shame he suffered in the last war.
