Who were the heroes, the men who topped the league of pilots in WWII, whose appetite for combat flying was compulsive? Bomber crews endured long hours of discomfort and danger, Fighter pilots flew in spasms, but they all had one thing in common; they loved flying! This is the story of some of these men and a tribute to them all. Amongst the men featured are Guy Gibson, 'Sailor' Malan, Adolf Galland, Douglas Bader and Pierre Clostermann
