1940. The world is at war.

Herr Oberst Erich Mathieu Von List is a Nazi and a fighter pilot. Yet he is unaware that he is the biological son of a powerful man…

In England, Sherlock Owen Templeton flies for the RAF.He has an accident that results in the death of several civilians.

He loses his wings, and is consigned to desk duty. But he is itching to get back into the air.

One of Churchill’s chief special projects is the Air Sea Rescue of downed airmen. ATA Pilot Faith Hannah Fuller, daughter of a pilot, flies the rescue missions.

On her first day in England while visiting the London Monument, she meets Sherlock and the possibility of a romance blooms. But Faith says he must find her, leaving only her scarf as a clue.

He gets his wings back and starts work in unarmed aerial reconnaissance.Between dangerous missions, Sherlock searches, but can’t find her due to the secret nature of her work...

Meanwhile, in France, Von List and a team have discovered an underground burial chamber built in 54 BC after Julius Caesar’s failed attack of England.The chamber leads to a partially completed tunnel from France to England.

The tunnel could change the course of the war, facilitating the invasion of England in a plan designed by Hitler to be the greatest deception since the fall of Troy.

Back at Faith’s naval base, a man named Colonel Matthew Vaughn suddenly shows up.He meets Faith, and woos her with unusual French delicacies, just as Sherlock and Faith are reunited.

But when a German is taken prisoner, he tells the strangest story about Matthew Vaughn, who it turns out, fought in the German Olympics and took the gold medal in fencing from Sherlock’s team.Now it looks like he might take Faith, too.

As war rages, old battles are reignited, and soon only one man will be left standing as the Battle for Glory is on.
