Focusing on the Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942, the narrative highlights the pivotal role of the USAAF's Lockheed P-38 equipped 14th Fighter Group. Engaging in long-range escort missions and low-level ground support, they faced intense attrition over three months. After receiving reinforcements and new aircraft, the revitalized squadron returned to combat in May 1943, continuing to fight against various air forces, including German and Russian, for an additional two years in the Mediterranean theater.
