Description:
Fresh out of flight school, Ensign Alan Drake joins the elite Hellcats Squadron in Pensacola. His arrival is rocky when he's forced to ditch his plane and parachute to safety due to thick fog. On his first day, poor shooting skills cost the Hellcats a crucial air combat competition. Despite this, his fellow pilots accept him. However, a misunderstanding leads them to believe Drake is having an affair with their commanding officer Billy Gray's wife, Lorna. Facing ostracism and considering resignation, Drake's heroic rescue of Billy Gray changes everything.
