Val was working as a land girl when the Americans arrived at the
nearby airfield in 1944. Mike, a young American airman, came into
her life soon after, and so too did Peter Woodhouse, a dog badly
treated on a neighbouring farm and taken in by her aunt. Little
persuasion was needed for Mike to take Peter Woodhouse to the
airbase and over time he became the mascot of the American squad,
flying with them whenever their Mosquitoes took to the skies. When
their plane is shot down over Holland both Mike and his canine
companion are feared lost. But unknown to their loved ones at home,
Mike and Peter Woodhouse survived the crash. Taken in by the Dutch
resistance and with the help of Ubi, a German officer, the pair to
remain in hiding till the end of the war when they are reunited
with Val. We then follow Val, Mike and Peter Woodhouse as they
rebuild a life in England. And Ubi as he returns to Germany at the
end of the war and tries to build a new life for himself. His dream
is to run a Wall of Death, a circus ring that pitts motorcyclists
against gravity as they attempt to stay upright at ever increasing
speed...
