Captains of the Clouds (1942) (original) (raw)

Brian MacLean wants to fight but what he gets is an assignment flying new, unarmed bombers across the Atlantic to England. Then, near England's shores, an enemy plane swoops out of the endless sky, splitting steel at the helpless bombers. If ever there was a time for MacLean to prove his skill and courage, this is it. One of the first war-themed films to hit theaters after America entered World War II tells the expansive tale of rugged bush pilots who bring their flying savvy to the Royal Canadian Air Force.
