Histoire :


En 1919, Frank Wead, pilote et jeune officier de l'US Navy, a compris l'importance de développer l'aéronautique navale américaine. Il se heurte à l'incompréhension de ses supérieurs, mais, à force d'efforts, il parvient à faire valoir sa cause. Blessé dans une chute, il reste paralysé, et devient écrivain et scénariste. Après l'attaque de Pearl Harbor, Wead reprend du service et participe activement à la création d'escorteurs approvisionnant les portes avions pour remplacer rapidement les aéronefs endommagés ou détruits.
