Wings Over the Pacific

The drums of war are pounding in the distance, and American expatriate Jim Butler fears that the tiny South Pacific island he and his daughter Nona call home will soon be caught in the fray. The news of America's declaration of war against the Axis powers brings these fears to life, as a German and an American fighter plane crash-land on the island. Wary of drawing attention to Sunday island, Jim refuses to let either pilot make radio contact with their respective combat units. With Lieutenant Alan Scott and Kurt Heimen essentially prisoners, Butler does his best to hide another secret that would make his home a prime asset for either side - the rich supply of oil on the island. Heimen discovers the oil, and turns to subterfuge and murder to alert his allies. Butler begins to see that choosing sides is inevitable if his South Pacific paradise is to remain free.
