Flight instructor James Seay and Guy Kibbee (appearing as Saint Peter) discuss some of the many errors committed by confident pilots that result in their earning their wings: only it's not pilot's wings, but angel's wings.
It's one of the many, many movies made by the US Army Air Force's First Motion Picture Unit for training. Hollywood was very generous with help, and besides Kibbee, there's Mel Blanc doing the voice in a cartoon sequence (sounding like Bugs Bunny), and Craig Stevens in a small role. Bernard Vorhaus, an actual Hollywood director, was in charge of this, and if it seems rather dry to me, it was a matter of life and death for its intended audience.
