Ep 12. Attack of the Hawkmen

During the First World War, Indiana Jones is a spy for the British Army in Northern Italy. In Episode 12 of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, titled Attack of the Hawkmen, Jones is tasked with infiltrating a German airbase to gather information on their fighter planes.

Jones boards a train disguised as a German officer, but his cover is almost blown when he encounters an old friend from college who is serving in the Austro-Hungarian army. Fortunately for Jones, his friend is too drunk to recognize him.

Once at the airbase, Jones meets up with Remy, a French pilot who is also working as a spy. The two of them witness a high-ranking German officer praising the skills of a group of fighter pilots known as the Hawkmen. These pilots are led by a ruthless commander named von Richthofen, who is played by the legendary actor, Christopher Lee.

Jones and Remy decide to sneak into the Hawkmen's hangar to take a closer look at their planes. They're caught by von Richthofen, but rather than kill them, he challenges Jones to a duel. Jones accepts and the two men engage in a fistfight. Jones wins, but von Richthofen promises that the next time they meet, it will be in the air.

Jones and Remy manage to escape the airbase with the information they need, but their mission is far from over. They learn that the Hawkmen are planning to bomb a small town that is home to a hospital filled with wounded soldiers. Jones and Remy try to warn the town and organize a defense, but they face resistance from the local authorities who don't believe their story.

As the Hawkmen approach, Jones and Remy rally the townspeople and prepare to fight back. Jones uses his knowledge of military strategy to create a plan that will give them a chance at victory. The battle is intense, with gunfire and explosions ringing through the town.

In the end, Jones and Remy emerge victorious, but not without losses. The town is left in ruins and many lives are lost. Jones is struck by the terrible toll that war takes on people and realizes that his actions as a spy have consequences far beyond his missions.
