Synopsis

Errol Flynn and David Niven co-star as beleaguered British fighter pilots coming to grips with the realities of combat in this soaring wartime drama -- a remake of the 1930 classic starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. -- directed by Edmund Goulding. Facing enemy fire, open-air cockpits and ballooning casualties, the flyers look to their stern squadron commander (Basil Rathbone) for leadership and support.
