John Wayne is the leader of a squadron of American pilots-for-hire in China, pre-Pearl Harbor. The men are wildly outnumbered by the Japanese, and also deal with difficulties within their own ranks. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
Classic John Wayne, who plays the right kind of guy, but not with a hat, but with an aviation uniform. Guys here engage in aerial combat, not only fighting for their lives, but also for honor. There are some emotions in it, but it's so straightforward that it's almost annoying. If you don't like Duke, you can easily skip this. If you like him, this movie won't give you anything substantial.
