About
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.

General Savage
How'd you happen to get into paperwork?
Major Stovall
They didn't give me any choice. See, I'm a... I'm a retread. I had my shot at combat first war. I kinda wanted to get into this one, but I guess they figured I was too old for anything but a desk. Maybe they were right.

Radio Malfunction and Unwavering Pride
General Savage
No, Sir. I didn't hear a thing. It must have been radio malfunction.
General Pritchard
Do you mean you're going to stick to that fairy tale?
General Savage
Yes, sir. There's one more thing you might as well know, sir. The 918th got through today, and bombed the target when nobody else did. And if Providence ever drops into my lap, another chance like that to give this group the pride it ought to have in itself, I may have radio malfunction again, sir.
