Dirk Bogarde stars in this compelling wartime Lancaster-based drama as a young Wing Commander close to breaking point with 87 sorties under his belt. He is determined to make 90 in spite of his superiors pressing him to take a break and a spell on the ground. A series of misfortunes that suggest a "jinx" precede a dangerous bombing mission over Germany which climaxes in a nerveshattering, breathtaking finale. (words are from the back of the cover)
