Two daring men. Men who could not possibly be more different. Michael Courtney, the dashing and generous British flying ace, who fights over the smoke-streaked skies of Europe. Lothar De La Rey, the bold and cruel German gunrunner, whose battleground is the awakening continent of Africa. And an extraordinary woman -- the sensual Centaine de Thiry, whose courage and cunning match that of any man -- unites these two extraordinary men.
