Plot – In the 1920s America, many former pilots of the military aviation make a living performing with their aircraft in front of small crowds in the countryside. Among them is Waldo Pepper, who likes to tell the story of his battle against the German pilot Ernst Kessler. In reality, the events told by Waldo happened to another pilot, but he has claimed the story as his. Forced to leave the circus where he performed, Pepper goes to Hollywood and gets a part in a movie dedicated to the duel between Kessler and the American pilot. His partner in the movie is Kessler himself and so Pepper can finally live his dream of confronting him in war.
