For two pilots, one woman became a conflict of interest.

Overview

On a secluded base in Arizona, veteran World War I pilot Steve Britt trains flyers to fight in World War II.

Despite their differences, Britt makes sure Sutton passes his training and becomes a combat pilot -- even though he loses Kay to the young man in the process.
