When Richard Norwood gets in a deadly dogfight with an Italian boy over Egypt and has to parachute out, he doesn't expect it to define the rest of his life. It's war - kill or be killed - but when both he and the Italian end up on the ground he finds that there are no politics in humanity and that a promise to a dying man must be honoured. The promise turns into a letter to Vittoria Martinelli, a nurse in the American Red Cross.
