Vliegende Hollanders will take place in the early days of our commercial aviation.

Pioniers
KLM is struggling with start-up problems, the company is experiencing major losses and Plesman argues a lot with his Board of Directors about the course to be followed. Fokker is now struggling with an enormous tax debt and persuades Plesman to order new aircraft from him. They seem to be on the same side, but can Plesman trust the smart Fokker?
De race
KLM's losses have risen to record levels and Plesman is threatened with dismissal. Fokker is doing very well, he participates in the Ford Air Reliability Tour in America and also meets a new love. Then he discovers that Plesman is deviously trying to get rid of him in the Netherlands by going with a competitor.
Suze & Violet
The stock market crash forces Albert Plesman to work even harder to keep KLM afloat at the expense of his family life. His wife Suze Plesman misses her familiar role as a sounding board and she is reconsidering her position as 'wife of'.

Lift
After his failed American adventure, Fokker is back in the Netherlands and is working on a biography about himself. Meanwhile, Plesman threatens to lose the lucrative mail transport to a competitor, and is forced to use the outdated Fokker 'Pelikaan' for a dangerous flight to the Dutch East Indies.
De Uiver
Plesman registers his first American aircraft, DC-2 'de Uiver' for an air race to Australia. With this he wants to prove that these metal devices are better than the Fokker aircraft.

The relationship between the men reaches a low point and Plesman is dealt with a heavy blow to his private life.
Vrede
