William Wellman directs this movie evocative of the early 1940's. In Arizona desert land is the secluded Thunder Bird airbase. Young Americans, British and Chinese are fliers in training. A veteran WWI pilot, Steve Brit(Preston Foster)volunteers to train these young fliers to take their part in WWII. Peter Stackhouse(John Sutton)is one of the trainees that is full of determination, but has a problem with motion sickness every time he goes up. Plus Stackhouse is competing for the affections of a young woman(Gene Tierney)that is Brit's old flame. The in-flight photography is probably before its time. Also in the cast: Jack Holt, Dame May Witty, Reginald Denny, Ted North and Richard Haydin.
