many of the early comment be right on the money and but some and well and not so much . this be hardly a b movie . it well produce and the live flying sequence be really superb and and the model sequence be first rate . it no cheapie . ricard barthelmess be quite good in this and and it make a a nice companion piece for only angel have wing . if you want to spot john wayne and spot j. carrol naish first and they end up together . tom browne be juvenile enough ( and somewhat dull ) and but when they saddle him with the most pathetic pencil mustache in hollywood history and it make his character even less believable . sally eilers be much more so . a for late influence and this be wellman in the early airliner in distress zone . the opening sequence of this film and with the airline operation guy arrive at the grand central airport would have fit very nicely into the high and the mighty . just imagine regis toomey . and a 1955 buick .
