Overview: World War II, a newly commissioned B-17 bomber is nearing the west coast of Greenland.
Flown by a carefully picked crew, it is carrying a piece of vital secret cargo that under no circumstances can be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy.

And, from the first page to the last, it is a story about aircraft and the men who fly them. When Lieutenant Ferguson and his crew set about to recover the yellow color-coded crate from the wreck of the B-17, they open the door to more adventure and extraordinary flying than even Ferguson’s lively imagination can conceive. For that was not an ordinary B-17…
