Keywords: Drama, WWI

Stationed in France during WWI, young British fighter pilots let off steam between dangerous missions as their commanding officer, Maj. Brand, slowly cracks under the pressure. Excellent performances particularly from Flynn. Nearly a word-for-word remake of Howard Hawks' The Dawn Patrol (1930), also titled Flight Commander, including some borrowed dogfight scenes.
