"If it had wings, they'd fly it! If it had skirts they'd fight for it!"

Nov 27 1948 Approved 1h 36m

Action, War

During World War II, an insubordinate fighter pilot finds the shoe on the other foot when he's promoted.

Plot

At an American air base in England, 1943, is conniving Sergeant Dolan, who manipulates everyone, and insubordinate ace fighter pilot Major Ed Hardin. When Ed is promoted to commander of his group, he must fight his former anti-authority stance as well as the enemy; tension grows as D-Day approaches. Generally lighthearted between moments of technicolor gore; lots of air combat footage, much of it genuine.
