In the midst of winter, 1944 - a two-minute air battle in the skies above Ehrwald, Austria involved several American and German aircraft - among them the B-24, the Messer Schmidt and the Folke Wolf. The resulting loss totaled 16 aircraft, 8 on each side and the lives of more than 30 men. On The Wing covers the lives of this fighting force during their tour of duty. Their stories, which detail the effect of war on their families and the families of their comrades, embody the root of this film.
