The Flight Begins from the Ground
5.6
The story unfolds in a provincial town, where a famous pilot arrives at the invitation of a wartime friend, the head of the local airport. Much in this small, family‑oriented world is alien and incomprehensible to him. He gets involved in the fight against mismanagement in the most decisive way.
