Review of Air Force

Air Force (1943)
6/10
Entertaining
16 June 2016
A B-17 bomber flies from San Francisco to Hawaii, arriving on...7 December 1941. They arrive in the middle of the attack on Pearl Harbor. They survive Pearl Harbor and are sent to the Philippines, where things aren't much easier.

The year of release (1943) should give it away that this is going to contain a fair amount of WW2 propaganda. And it does. Still, it is pretty entertaining, and the jingoism doesn't get excessive.

Goodish plot, solidly directed and acted. Some of the battle scenes and plots are quite unrealistic though. Still, the flying scenes are good fun.
