Herkimer Dawes dreams of flying, not of inheriting his father's successful toiletries business. Aeroplanes are all the rage in 1912, and San Francisco's Lincoln Beachey is the most heralded flier alive. Herkimer wants the man's crown. Thus a rivalry is born that takes Herk from Buffalo to San Diego and many points in between on his quest to become the world's greatest stunt pilot – even if he dies trying.
