Wings - S1 E1

2. Never Turn Back

Alan's training advances well, but he has to learn both military and flying skills, while Charles has already completed his pilot's training. On a training flight, Alan's engine fails on take-off, and he crash-lands the plane in a field.

3. Welcome To France

May 1915, and Alan arrives in St Marie, France. Some officers resent his lower class background. Alan and his friend Charles are reunited. On his first mission a German plane machine-guns them, and his observer, Bravington, is wounded.

4. Business As Usual

The old CO, Captain Dornish, is shot down. He is replaced by Captain Triggers. Enroute to the unit, Triggers learns the horrible truth of Dornish's fate, from a wounded Infantry Officer.

5. Speaking From Experience

Seeing the inadequacies of the planes, Triggers encourages the pilots and NCOs to put forward ideas for improvement.

6. Over The Top

Gaylion gets a taste of the horrors of life in the trenches when his plane is forced down and he must wait overnight for the arrival of a replacement propeller.

7. Time Out Of War

Alan and Charles are sent back to England to pick up a new plane, but on arrival they discover the plane is not ready. They stay at Charles' family home in London, and Alan learns more of the class differences between them.

8. The Hunters

Charles devises a method of fitting a Lewis gun to their plane, and Alan makes it a reality, but in their first aerial combat they find the design still needs work, when they shoot out some struts in their own plane.

9. New Deal

Alan helps Charles to capture a German plane and its crew. Entertaining the captured officers does not go to plan. The captured plane may be the perfect choice for a covert mission.

10. The Burning Question

A new German monoplane is causing massive losses and the British military hierarchy do not believe their planes are being so outclassed. The reason for their success is found from an unlikely source.

11. The Prisoner's Friend

On a reconnaissance mission with observer Conrad, Alan disregards Conrad's order to move closer to a German Eindecker, turns for home and avoids a confrontation. Conrad insists Alan be court-martialled for disobeying an order and cowardice.

12. Welcome Home

After the court martial, Conrad continues to fly with Alan, ordering him to be more reckless. Conrad shoots down an Eindecker but is fatally wounded. Alan's incident report is complete, but Triggers rewrites it to leave out certain details.
