Above and Beyond

"Above and Beyond" tells the remarkable true story of Frank Luke Jr., the first aviator to earn the Medal of Honor during World War I. Initially viewed as a troubled and excitable young man by his peers and superiors, Luke transformed into one of the most esteemed fighter aces on the Western Front, known for his audacious attacks on heavily-defended enemy observation balloons. The narrative culminates in his final, daring mission on September 29, 1918, an act of bravery that ultimately led to his posthumous recognition and sacrifice.
