Overwhelmed by the guilt of sending fliers out to die, the leader of a World War I British air-force squadron hands the responsibility over before gallantly flying off on a suicide mission. This early Howard Hawks aviation talkie was remade eight years later with Errol Flynn, retitled Flight Commander.

Young recruits are sent airborne toward certain death, but Hawks locates a strange joy in their grim fate.
Retains a certain power because of its great aerial footage.
A thoroughgoing blueprint for Hawksian valor
Howard Hawks's compact economy and avoidance of stylistic razzle-dazzle allowed for concentration on storytelling, to great effect.
