It's the beginning of VE Day and the end of the war in Europe
heralds a newer war with the Soviets. Monopolizing and exploiting
German technological breakthroughs will be critical in the new cold
war. A cadre of USAF officers gathers captured German rockets and
planes in a remote desert base. They've got captured pilots and
scientists as well-but can't trust them much. Instead, using ENIAC,
they amass a small number of USAAF pilots with the idea of forming
the first of America's jet fighter squadrons. Distrust of the
Germans and their planes is only one the problems-our heroes must
also contend with an insane chain of command determined to make the
cranky planes work and fight in ways they were not designed to be
used.
