Europe in Flames. A B-17 bombardier must choose fear or duty, hate or love. RUSH TO GLORY lays open the lives of two rival brothers, Hal and Luke Bailey, opposites in every way, Hal, determined to do his duty for his country, enlists in the Air Corp, is trained as a bombardier, and finds himself assigned to his older brother’s command in England. Luke, worried that Hal will somehow diminish his rise to the top, takes a tough stance with Hal and places him at the mercy of not only the German war machine but also at the mercy of his comrades-in-arms. Hal’s situation becomes even more perilous when he falls in love with a lovely British reporter who is determined to use Hal to wreak revenge on the enemy who had killed her brother.
