Following the end of the war, Harry George Hawker was reaching new heights in his aviation career.

He knew his next move: he would attempt to continue his winning streak and win the £10,000 Daily Mail prize for the first flight across the Atlantic over 72 hours.

We would be about to reach the twist at this point in his movie 🍿
No spoilers if you know the story!
