Men with Wings stars Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland and Louise Campbell as three adults tied together by their childhood dreams of flying. After growing up together, Pat Falconer (MacMurray), Scott Barnes (Milland) and Peggy Ransom (Campbell) find their lives soaring in very different directions. Pat discovers thrills and freedom in daredevil missions. Scott methodically works on constructing planes that are faster, lighter and stronger. Peggy, now married to Pat, bravely holds down the home front as her husband's adventures take him further away from his family. As the early events in aviation history bring them happiness and heartbreak, these three soon understand that they will always be connected, no matter the distance.
