Sentimental war film. What's good is the structure, the hero pilots tell their story in flashback from a communist prison. The joys and sorrows of the main rather cliched narrative about male friendship, romances with the natives, and courage, which occurs around a posh-accented second world war English airbase, are rendered pointless or heart-breaking by the viewers knowledge that the protagonists are hopelessly headed towards incarceration by the evil commies. Death might seem an attractive option in such circumstancess. The gliding shooting and fighting over the clouds are beautiful.
