The story

The film opens on an abandoned airfield, the fictional RAF Station Halfpenny Field, and the opening scenes reference people and objects which will be shown later. A similar approach is used in the opening and closing scenes of an abandoned airfield in the later 1949 film Twelve O'Clock High, which is set on the fictional RAF Archbury. In a flashback, Pilot Officer Peter Penrose is posted in the summer of 1940 as a pilot to the fictional No.
