i can watch this film just for the fly . i would love to get my hand on all of the footage and remake it with a descent plot . although intend to showcase american airpower in the 50 and it could be redo a cold war retro flick because the footage be still cool and beautiful . this the only place you will likely ever see some off that magnificent old hardware in use . we know the duke be a hardcore anti communist a be howard hughes . the two no doubt saw eye to eye on politics and ergo it be no surprise that they would both be involve in this movie and yet it be probably a bad idea for the duke . some people consider it his bad movie ( through no fault of his own and the script be ludicrous ) . i doubt even the red hunting member of the house unamerican activity committee ( huac ) could take it seriously . still and it have a really cool theater poster . it a painting of the duke in an old p 2 flight helmet with the late or post ww2 style fly goggles ( althought i believe they use the p 4 helmet in the movie . the p 4 be just a p 2 with a big retractable visor screw on . the visor replace the old style goggles ) . again and it also have some great aerial footage and which be what you would expect from hughes .
