The story

In the mid-1930s, Dave Logan, inspired by Lindbergh's nonstop flight over the Atlantic, struggles to build and fly a new ocean-going flying boat with the goal of reaching China from San Francisco. His wife Jean and his boss Jim Horn try to discourage him, but he enlists his World War I pilot buddy Tom Collins and aircraft designer "Dad" Brunn, to start an airline flying between Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Undeterred when the airline fails, the group start a second airline in Key West, Florida to deliver mail throughout the Caribbean.
