A bombardier, based in Italy during World War II, repeatedly tries to avoid flying bombing missions while his colonel tries to get him killed by demanding that he fly more and more missions. A microcosm of the 20th century world as it might look to someone dangerously sane. One of the strongest creations of the mid-century.
