Plot Summary

Trying to find his way home after a dogfight in World War I, Royal Flying Corps Flt. Lt. William Terrance Decker lands at a U.S. Air Force base 42 years in the future. No one believes him when he claims to be from 1917, thinking someone is trying to put one over on them. Decker himself admits that before suddenly leaping into the future he was actually flying away from an serial encounter and leaving his friend in a lurch. He also realizes that he may have an opportunity to rectify that situation. Written by garykmcd

Goofs When Decker arrives at the Lafayette Air Base, he is told that he is in an American base. When he sees the 1959 aircraft for the first time, he says, "We had no idea you were so advanced!" However, he should be surprised that there is an American base in France at all as the United States did not declare war on Germany until April 6, 1917, one month after Decker's departure. See more »

And somewhere in between heaven, the sky, and the earth, lies The Twilight Zone.
