It's October 8, 1943, a sunny day. Heavy four-engined bombers from the US Airforce have been besieging the sky for hours. The goal: an air raid on Bremen, it is the 115th for the city on the Weser. Not all airmen will do their job. Some turn around with a technical defect or are shot down before they are reached.
