17-year-old Bob Sunday has stolen his brother's identity to enlist in WW1. Keith was killed at Gallipoli, so doesn't need it any more, anyway. But Bob is keen to join the Royal Flying Corps, and soon finds himself flying patrols over the front line in France, up against the likes of the Red Baron - Manfred von Richthofen. A boy's dreams of adventure are soon shattered amid the horrors of war; culminating in his witnessing the destruction at Passchendaele.
