This review is on Pilot #5 from 1943 which stars: Franchot Tone, Marsha Hunt, Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, Alan Baxter, Dick Simmons, Howard Freeman
and is directed by George Sidney.
In Java during
the darkest days of World War II, an American pilot takes off in his
squad's only air-worthy plane. His mission: drop the 500-pound bomb
strapped to his plane's fuselage on a Japanese aircraft carrier. As he
wings toward certain death, the airmen left behind share their comrade's
life story - a stirring tale of love, ambition, political corruption
and personal redemption. (from WarnerArchive)
This is a Warner Archive release and has pretty good
video and audio quality. The film is
presented in b&w, full screen and runs for about 71mins (1hr 11mins).
I would give this film a 6.5/10 and the DVD a 3/5. Overall this is a good DVD release and is a film I recommend.
