U.S. Col. Billy Mitchell (Gary Cooper) is a decorated World War I
veteran airman frustrated by the military’s mistreatment of the flying
program. With military brass and many in the government still favoring
battleships, Mitchell sees funding cut to aviation, resulting in the
unnecessary deaths of pilots. When Mitchell
publicly accuses his superiors of ineptitude, he is court-martialed. At
the trial, Congressman Frank Reid (Ralph Bellamy) advises Mitchell, who
faces Maj. Guillion (Rod Steiger).
