On the night of July 26, 1942, a group of British special forces, known as L detachment (aka the Special Air Service), were on a mission to attack a strategic German airbase in Sidi Haneish, Egypt. Major David Stirling led the group intending to destroy as many aircraft as possible in order to disrupt the enemy supply lines deep behind the frontlines. Alongside him was Captain Paddy Mayne. The short and unexpected attack left the Germans stunned, making the British attack highly successful. After the attack, the British and French commandos had to find their way back to the hideout through the vast desert, trying to hide from the German aircraft patrolling the skies.
