Two daring young aviators, Tom Raymond and Jack Parmly, forged their friendship high above the battle‑scarred fields of World War I. Fresh from the Lafayette Escadrille and later distinguished service in the American squadrons, they proved themselves in daring dogfights, earning a reputation for skill and bravery that set them apart from their peers.
Now, with the guns silent and the war behind them, the two comrades turn their sights to the sky’s greatest challenge: a nonstop crossing of the Atlantic that could claim the record for the longest flight ever attempted. As they prepare their battered fighter for a journey over endless ocean, they must confront unpredictable weather, mechanical limits, and the lingering echo of wartime peril. Their resolve and unshakable bond promise an adventure that tests the very limits of early aviation.
