Hot-shot Pat Falconer (Fred MacMurray), his brainy neighbor Scott Barnes (Ray Milland) and their young friend Peggy Ranson (Louise Campbell) share a deep love of aviation dating back to the moment of the Wright brothers' historic flight. This obsession with airplanes leads Falconer to the Air Force and wartime heroism and Barnes to a career as an aeronautics engineer. As the years progress, Barnes' and Falconer's friendship is tested by their mutual interest in Ranson.

John Kinloch California Eagle 10/31/2019
The brutal force Wellman achieves in his climactic passages is due, conversely, to the restraint with which he handles them. Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 07/22/2019
The situation isn't a new one. but the picture as a whole is highly dramatic, partly because of the skill and swiftness of William Wellman's direction, partly because there is so much excitement and sheer visual beauty in flight itself. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
