The greatest movie ever made..!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I just watched this on late night ABC (Australia) Set about four years before the outbreak of WWII. It covers RAF training. Pilots, mechanics etc. All the planes were biplanes. The five man bomber was worth watching the movie for. Shows lots of formation flights. Old flying movies are interesting in that they rave on about their latest (HITEC). I think this is a gee whiz motivational movie for its time. Worries about the pending second war were there at the time this was made . So the powers that be were trying to encourage men to enlist. Well worth a look if your interested in a genuine historical Documentary of air cadet training
