The murder of a Naval Aviation Cadet threatens to capsize "The Cradle of Naval Aviation."
In 1956, in Pensacola, Florida, a gunnery training "accident" left a mechanically sound T-28 trainer in a farmer's field and the student pilot dead in the cockpit. While simultaneously working a murder case at home in Sand Hills, North Carolina, Detective Dan "Red" Lewis goes on the road and works with an attractive, flirtatious woman reporter in Pensacola to get the truth. When the Navy realizes Dan isn't going to accept their version of the accident, Dan could be the next "accident" victim.
"The Navy isn't going to like this one, but I loved it!"
