Story: A dramatization of the American general and his court martial for publically complaining about High Commands dismissal and neglect of the aerial fighting forces.

The true story of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneering crusader for the Armys fledgling air corp. In spite of an impressive performance during the First World War, the commanders of Americas armed forces still think of the airplane as little more then a carnival attraction. Even after sinking an "unsinkable" captured German battleship from the air, Mitchell sees funds dry up and friends die due to poor equipment. He is court-martialed after questioning the loyalty of his superiors for allowing the air corp to deteriorate.

In the early 1920s Brigadier General William "Billy" Mitchell of the US Army is a staunch advocate of the importance of air power. He is constantly writing letters to any powers that will listen, stressing that the US should upgrade its air forces and use them in bombing roles. When he gets a chance to demonstrate the power of aircraft he is forced to break the rules and disobey orders in order to make his point. For this he is demoted and sent to a remote posting. There he ruffles feathers even more by telling the press how regressive and incompetent the powers-that-be are. For this he is court martialled.
