Courage

Framlingham, England, has fallen hopelessly in love with Captain Milton Sexton, his commanding officer. The two men engage in sexual relations off base, but when Benjamin demands more than casual sex, Milton makes it clear that two men cannot cohabitate together in a committed relationship citing the probable loss of their careers, persecution from the law and alienation by their families. Feeling rejected, Benjamin swears off love to focus all of his energy on his job as a bomber pilot, until his final bombing mission with Captain Sexton ends in disaster over Nazi occupied Holland. After baling out of their crippled bomber, the two young lovers are the only members of a ten-man crew who escape immediate capture by the enemy. But their adversity is just beginning as the brave men and women of the Dutch underground render aid and shelter along the arduous journey from the Dutch-German border to Amsterdam where the plan is to rendezvous with a British submarine that will take them back to England to rejoin the war.
