I've probably seen this 15 times. It's been a favorite since I was a child. Basil Rathbone, Errol Flynn, and David Niven? How can you go wrong?

A bit dated but good acting by Errol Flynn, David Niven, and Basil Rathbone, the story highlights the period of the war when the British pilots were considered "Fokker fodder" with an average life expectancy of three weeks at the Front. Some footage from Howard Hughes's "Hell's Angels" is used.
