The provocative red paint job of his Fokker aircraft earns him the nickname “The Red Baron” and makes him famous the world over. For millions of his countrymen, he becomes an idol, a symbol of hope and pride. But as his patriotic brother begins questioning Von Richthofen’s chivalrous code of honor and heavy losses threaten his squadron, von Richthofen cannot stop flying.

Transporting his children from New York to Boston in an attempt to find safety at Mary Ann’s parents’ house, Ray must learn to become the protector and provider he never was in marriage.
