Plots(1)
The American Volunteer Group, or Flying Tigers, fight bravely for China's freedom despite the fact that they are greatly outnumbered. Squadron leader Jim Gordon (John Wayne) gets a new recruit when Woody Jason (John Carroll) joins the group. Woody signs up only because he needs money to pay for a breach-of-promise suit. His egotism and mercenary motives gain him the ill-will of fellow fliers. He further antagonises them by stealing Jim's girl, Brooke (Anna Lee), a Red Cross worker. (Fabulous Films)

A film classic with John Wayne, playing a proper guy. Not with a cowboy hat, but rather in an aviator's uniform. The guys here engage in aerial dogfights, not only fighting for their lives but also for honor. There's some emotion in it, but it's so straightforward it's almost annoying. If you don't like the Duke, skip this one. If you do like him, this film still won't give you anything substantial.
