While looking through some old papers, Ross Spencer finds a photograph of his bomber crew stationed in England during the Second World War. The six faces smile back at him; cocky, daring and defiant. They were so young, so strong and so damn sacred.
Ross Spencer is a decisive man, and he is determined that he is going to reunite the crew. The Bomber Boys are going to fly again. In a Lancaster. Together. Ross hasn't been to England in fifty-five years. He knows that when he returns to the aerodromes, runways, and pubs of his youth it will come back to him: the intensity of their friendships, the thrill of the war and the fragility of life. They said they would stay in touch. But they haven't really. The Bomber Boys have gone to lead separate peacetime lives on two continents. The young faces have grown weathered with age. They have already started to die. So thee is an urgency to the reunion. To say hello. And good-bye.
