Synopsis

In September 1925, the four McDonald brothers, Roland, Keith, Tad, and Colin, showcase their flying prowess at an Iowa county fair. Roland, the eldest and a First World War veteran, recognizes that the precarious livelihood of barnstorming is losing its allure as aviation rapidly evolves into a serious business with federal regulations. This story captures the thrills and perils of early aviation through the eyes of these pioneering pilots.
