En 1926, dans le Nebraska. Aux commandes de son petit avion, Waldo Pepper exécute des prouesses acrobatiques. Il émerveille les badauds en leur contant ses exploits imaginaires durant la première guerre.

01:29The best man of Ernst Kessler!
01:33He is the best, isn't he?
01:36You can beat him, Bob, in my monoplane.
01:39And if flying sometimes meant dying, there was glory enough even for that.

02:02What makes the great Waldo Pepper unique among the great air adventure films is its authenticity.

02:31Well, I'm no chauffeur.
02:33And I'm no mailman.
02:36I'm a flyer, Newt.
02:37Second best.
02:39At last, he could challenge the world's number one flyer for supremacy of the sky.
