때는 제2차 세계대전. 아이들로 가득한 학교가 실수로 폭격 임무의 표적이 되면서 여러 코펜하겐 주민들의 운명이 충돌한다. 실제 사건을 기반으로 한 작품.
영국 공군의 다코다기가 비행중에 실종된다. 실종된 다코다기에는 공군중장 존 하디를 비롯, 8명의 승객과 5명의 승무원이 타고 있었다. 하지만 비행기 실종사건은 미리 예견돼 있었다. 하디 중장이 마지막 비행을 떠나기전 친구 로버트슨 집에서 개최한 파티에서 해군중령 린지가 참석해 비행기 실종을 말했기 때문. 린지는 이 자리에서 자신이 전날 꿈속에서 다코다기를 보았으며 그 속에 하디중장등 8명의 승객과 5명의 승무원이 있었고 비행기는 곧 폭풍우로 길을 잃어 일본의 한 어촌에 불시착하게 된다고 얘기한다. 린지의 설명에 참석한 사람들은 모두 웃지만 마지막 순간에 동행하게 된 로버트슨은 웬지 불길한 예감을 느낀다. 당초 두명이던 승객이 여섯명이 되고 다시 여덟명이 되면서 로버트슨의 불안감은 극에 달하지만 오키나와에서 두명의 병사가 무사히 내리자 안도의 숨을 내쉰다. 하지만 미처 말하지 않은 두 명이 더 타게됐다는 매켄지 대위의 설명에 로버트슨은 더욱 불길한 예감이 들어 절대로 그들을 태워주어서는 안된다고 주장한다.
In 1915 France, Major Brand commands the 39th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. The young airmen go up in bullet-riddled "crates" and the casualty rate is appalling, but Brand can't make the "brass hats" at headquarters see reason. Insubordinate air ace Captain Courtney is another thorn in Brand's side...but finds the smile wiped from his face when he rises to command the squadron himself. Everyone keeps a stiff upper lip.
To celebrate the centenary of the Royal Air Force, Ewan and Colin McGregor take to the skies in some of the world's most iconic planes. These are the planes that were involved in aerial combat at every stage of the RAF's story, from the biplanes used in the early days of dogfighting in World War I to the beautiful Spitfire of the Battle of Britain, the plucky Lysander and on to mighty Vulcan nuclear bomber, as well as the Chinook helicopter and supersonic Typhoon that are still in service today. It is a story of amazing machines and epic battles, but above all it is the story of the men and women whose courage and ingenuity have been at the heart of the RAF for 100 years. On their journey Ewan and Colin meet an amazing cast of characters.

Hans Wolgast is executed with a shot in the head in the idyllic town of Husum to Mozart's Magic Flute. His half-brother, Inspector Anton Glauberg, immediately suspects that the shadows of the family past have caught up with him because Hans was a member of the RAF. Without initially disclosing that he not only knew the dead man but was even related to him, Glauberg begins to investigate, supported by the young, attractive but inexperienced BKA officer Paula Reinhardt. The traces lead to Berlin to the scattered remnants of the RAF and its still functioning cable groups. Wolgast lived there in a shared apartment before he, like so many former terrorists, fled to the GDR in the 1980s. A former roommate of Hans Veith Seewald points out the parallel to Glauberg to a murder case from 1978.
