1916 yılındayız. Birinci Dünya Savaşı iki yıldan beri tüm şiddetiyle devam etmektedir. İngiltere ve Fransa'nın müttefik güçleri, batı cephesinde Almanlar'ın sağlam siperlerine karşı verdiği savaşta başarılı olamamış, milyonlarca insan hayatını kaybetmiştir. Öte yandan Avrupalılar'ı kendi savaşlarıyla başbaşa bırakmayı tercih eden Birleşik Amerika tarafsızlık ve izolasyon politikasını ısrarla korumaktadır. Ancak gönüllü ambulans sürücüleriyle Fransız lejyonunun üyesi olan bazı Amerikalılar, müttefiklere yardım etmek için Avrupa'ya geçmişlerdir. Çok geçmeden Amerikalı gönüllülerden bazıları, iyi teçhizatlı Alman pilotlarıyla baş edebilmek ve müttefiklerin savaş çabalarına yardımcı olabilmek için kendi özel filolarını oluştururlar. Ölümüne mücadeleyi göze alan "Flyboys" Kahraman Pilotlar filosu bu şekilde meydana gelir.
