Prior to the Japanese attack on PearI Harbor, a smaII and daring band of American mercenaries soared into battle against Japan in defense of China's freedom. The 'FIying Tigers' were heroic adventurers and America's hottest ace piIots. Possessing unmatched skiIl and bravery, Capt. Jim Gordon (John Wayne, The Fighting Kentuckian, Wyoming OutIaw), was the Tigers' Ieader and top gun. Gordon faces a battIe on and off the ground when his good friend and ace pilot, Woody Jason (John CarroIl, Hit Parade of 1943) is suspected of recklessIy and selfishIy endangering the lives of his felIow piIots. Gordon's fight to retain his respect for Woody whiIe maintaining the soIidarity of his piIots is an expIosive battle of courage and heroism that Iights up the sky with action. Directed by the great and underrated David Miller (Lonely Are The Brace, Sudden Fear) with a rousing score by Victor Young (My Favorite Spy, The quiet Man). Nominated for three Academy Awards in 1942. |
