Luciano Serra, valeureux aviateur lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, se retrouve désormais sans but. Il gagne quelque argent en assurant, à l'aide d'un modeste hydravion, le baptême de l'air de touristes en mal de sensations. En 1921, il s'embarque alors pour l'Amérique du Sud, espérant y faire fortune. Là-bas, des financiers lui proposent d'organiser un raid aérien au-dessus de l'Océan Atlantique de Rio de Janeiro à Rome. Trahi par des commanditaires sans scrupules, Luciano n'abandonne pas l'entreprise mais, il disparaît, à bord de son engin, en 1931. Très attaché à l'histoire de son père, Aldo Serra, entre à l'Académie aéronautique de Caserte et participe dès 1935 à la conquête coloniale en Éthiopie. Luciano Serra est, quant à lui, toujours vivant et se retrouve également en Abyssinie. Lors d'une opération dramatique, il sauve son fils, au mépris du danger, mais doit y laisser sa vie.
