The story

In London during World War II, Lieutenant David Halloran, a United States Army Air Forces B-25 bomber pilot with the Eighth Air Force, and Margaret Sellinger, an English nurse, meet on Hanover Street in a chance encounter. The following day, Halloran's squadron is sent to bomb Rouen in Nazi-occupied France when the plane's engine is hit, but the fire is put out. Cimino, the bombardier, begs Halloran to let him drop the bombs early and turn back, but Halloran does not care about the danger and orders him to wait until they are over the target, prompting Cimino to angrily exclaim that he hates Halloran.
