The article recalls the Swoose, a transformed transport plane of a three star general, and its crew led by Frank Kurtz. It charts its battered history from Wake Island to Clark Field, Java, and Australia, now retired and grounded while the six crew members recount their wartime journeys and postwar roles.
The article follows Frank’s youth, his dream to become an Olympic platform diver under a famous Coast coach, and his path through Hollywood High School training. It recalls his aim to be a pilot, his Junior World's Landplane Speed Record, college life, marriage to Margo, and Army training at Randolph Field, with reflections on balance and timing across his varied pursuits.
The narrator recalls Old 99 the Flying Fortress and its eight crew killed beside the plane after a Japanese raid. He describes the crew as a family and the aircraft as a beloved home, then confronts the burned wreckage and the fallen men, promising to learn why it happened so it would not recur.
