The story of a naïve young soldier's transformation into a committed patriot, Henry King's wartime romance follows American pilot Tim Baker (Tyrone Power), who somewhat impulsively joins Her Majesty's Royal Air Force in Britain. While he isn't English, he does have an anglophile ex-girlfriend (Betty Grable) he desperately wants to impress. When confronted with the gruesome realities of World War II, Tim reassesses his previous motivations and begins to realize just what's at stake.
