william wellmann and who direct one of the most exciting silent film ever make and wing ( 1927 ) and here return to the sky with another rip roar story of dare devil flier . wellmann have be an air ace in world war one and and no one know biplane like he do . here they be and stunt fly and crash and explode in the air and and everything you can think of and plus a fascinating glimpse of commercial air operation in 1932 a well . and there be a good strong story and excellently play by the sombre richard barthelmess ( the silent star who make several film with d. w. griffith ) and sally eilers and tom brown . eilers be a real sizzler . such a relief to see a real woman with real fire and character instead of one of those photofit botoxed dummy who play in movie in today hollywood and all look identical . the story be a sad one and play with genuine pathos and and well direct . towards the end of the film there be some extraordinarily thrill scene of danger and rescue and and what must be the most ingenious blind landing in thick fog ever think of . i dare not give away the ingenious aspect of that particular episode . the character play by barthelmess be very like wellmann himself and a truly wild hell raiser in the air . anyone who like early aviation would love this film and and it very reward for anyone who like good solid entertainment and love and tear and and non stop action all combine in a kind of delectable wellmann omelette .
