Your job is to generate a story 100 to 1000 words long, that includes all the facts given as input in their order of appearance while expanding upon them to produce a broader, yet coherent, narrative.
Fact1: Harold Calvert is sent on course to learn to fly new bomber, Fact2: other pilots cousin think has shirked duties by claiming engine trouble on raid over Ploesti oil fields, Fact3: Cal stands up for Tom, Fact4: Tom is furious and reprimands Cal for endangering test program, Fact5: Wolfe leads them to bases in China
A:
In 1943, Capt. Harold Cal Calvert Wendell Corey is sent on a course at Smoky Hill, Kansas, to learn to fly a new bomber, the Boeing B29 Superfortress. His instructor is his cousin, Major Tom West Forrest Tucker, an officer who the other pilots think has shirked his duties by claiming engine trouble on the raid over the Ploesti oil fields. Cal stands up for Tom when a crewman taunts his cousin in front of Helen Vera Ralston, a nurse that Tom has been seeing. Cal and the other students learn that the pressurized B29 can fly higher, faster and farther than any other bomber. On a test flight, when an overconfident Cal pushes a B29 higher than instructed, a sudden decompression nearly ends in tragedy. One of the crew is sucked out of the aircraft, but is able to use his parachute. Tom is furious and reprimands Cal for endangering the test program, which the Air Force brass is monitoring closely. Maj. Gen. Wolfe Walter Brennan finally declares that the pilots and the B29s are ready for combat. He leads them to bases in China where they will launch attacks on Japan. Cals first missions are harrowing, although the B29s prove to be extremely effective. When the group is transferred to Guam, Tom is reunited with Helen, who is also assigned there. Cal is flying continually on high altitude missions, but Gen. Curtis E. LeMay William Witney, the new commanding officer, changes tactics to more accurate low altitude raids that will produce more damage. Helen is slowly falling for the more heroic Cal, and when he and Tom are on a mission together in a mass raid on Tokyo, their B29 is hit by antiaircraft fire. With Cal wounded and Tom at the controls, the stricken aircraft barely makes it back to the base. Tom goes back into the fiery wreckage to save a trapped crewman, but is killed when the aircraft explodes. Several weeks later, as the war ends when B29s drop the most devastating weapon of all, the atom bomb, on cities in Japan, Cal and Helen remain together.
