Episode Summary

In a clever twist of survival and deception, the Black Sheep Squadron, plagued by aging aircraft and supply shortages, engage in a high-stakes gambit with the wealthy Rappaport and Congressman McIntosh.

This move, driven by ingenuity and a dash of moral ambiguity, not only enhances their operational capabilities but also exposes the underbelly of wartime profiteering and political maneuvers.
