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 The brutal force Wellman achieves in his climactic passages is due, conversely, to the restraint with which he handles them. Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 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.
