 
The boy Jiro dreams of flights and beautiful planes capable of surpassing the wind. The only problem is that he cannot become a pilot as he is nearsighted from birth. But Jiro does not give up on his dream of the sky; he starts to come up with the perfect plane and eventually becomes one of the world's best aircraft designers. On his journey to success, he will not only meet many interesting people, experience the Great Tokyo Earthquake and brutal wars, but also find the love of his life - the beautiful Naoko.
