True WWII Biography.
5 November 2013
Robert Florey directed this biographical account of Col. Robert Lee Scott(played by Dennis Morgan), a pilot during WWII who is flying transport planes over China, but really wants to soar with the Flying Tigers, an elite aerial squadron fighting the Japanese. Major General Chennault(played by Raymond Massey) gives him his chance, even though at 34 he is a bit old. Col. Scott distinguishes himself by successfully shooting down the enemy, including hated turncoat pilot called 'Tokyo Joe', who loved to taunt his former countrymen. Good model F/X and flying sequences compensate for clichéd script; one of the last patriotic morale boosters before the war ended.
