  During World War II, R.A.F. pilot Lt. Dick Stacey (John Clements) has fallen in love with Celia (Jane Baxter) who is the daughter of Adm. Wetherby (Leslie Banks). Stacey takes a plane without permission and crashes it leaving Celia's brother Lt. Wetherby (Hugh Burden) dead. His romance with Celia ends. After his court-martial, Stacey serves aboard the H.M.S. Ark Royal–the ship with wings–where he becomes a mercenary charter pilot in the Mediterranean. Stacey regains his patriotism when he goes on a suicide mission, crashes his plane into a German dam site, and floods a German post. He has redeemed himself and dies a hero.
