Tom McCammon, a Flight Engineer on a C-130, is in a position he has dreamed of since he was a little boy going to a one-room county school. His lifelong desire to fly started when he watched the planes of WWII era fly their training missions above him. There was little hope that he would ever achieve his secret goal, it was just a little boy's dream.

Dropping out of college, Tom enlisted in the Air Force, worked hard to reach the unreachable and now he sat in the cockpit of his dreams. Though it didn't turn out to be exactly like his dreams, it was a job that he thoroughly enjoyed, and he became proficient in doing it.

In the time he spent in Vietnam, things got completely out of hand, and there was nothing he could do about it. He was forced to fly a plane for which he wasn't qualified. He had to go against his own firm conviction of never jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft. And on the way down, he got shot! This certainly wasn't in his master plan.

His commanding officer is obviously out to get someone, and Tom happens to be that someone. No one wants to listen to his side of the story. But the wheels of justice are turning, ever so slowly, and Tom finally gets his reward, as well as his revenge.
