Fighter Squadron
At an American air base in England, 1943, is conniving Sergeant Dolan, who manipulates everyone, and insubordinate ace fighter pilot Major Ed Hardin. When Ed is promoted to commander of his group, he must fight his former anti-authority stance as well as the enemy; tension grows as D-Day approaches. Generally lighthearted between moments of technicolor gore; lots of air combat footage, much of it genuine.
Fighter Squadron
"Fighter Squadron" presents a plot centered on contrasting command styles, peppered with acts of heroism depicted as the key to triumph. It explores the dichotomy of stringent regulations for certain characters while others navigate loopholes. Despite the skillful storytelling, the film ultimately falls short of rising above mediocrity.
