President Roosevelt has a plan, and it isn’t long before George is called upon to use all his skills as a aeronautical engineer.Meanwhile, his wife Georgiana has been summoned to Congress, his son Robert to the new aircraft carrier Hornet, and his new sister-in-law Laura to a mysterious government agency. All in all, it appears that the Grant family’s problems are only just beginning. It’s 1942. The War is beginning in earnest, and the United States is about to risk everything on a grand symbolic gesture . . .
