Description: The period immediately after the declaration of war in September 1939 - the Phoney War - is a bizarre time for RAF fighter pilots: one moment chasing the Luftwaffe at 25,000 feet, the next ordering champagne cocktails in a Paris hotel. Then on 10th May 1940 Hitler launches Blitzkrieg, and pilots Kit Curtis and Ossie Wolf find themselves engulfed in vicious battle. Englishman Kit and American Ossie clash not only with the Germans, but with each other. They also encounter those intent on profiting from the chaos, like impoverished Russian countess BTbT Dubretskov, who uses both men to pursue a deadly purpose.
