(1934, Monogram) Ray Walker, William Farnum, Julie Bishop, Noah Beery, Warner Richmond. Don’t let the dopey title fool you, this is a great poverty row thriller about U.S. Flying Service agents who wage war against a band of airborne smugglers. Walker does a great job as the flying hero, who at one point has to clear his name. Beery and Richmond are two of the best heavies in B-film history. Some cool flying scenes, lots of snappy dialogue, an overall minor gem that you don’t want to miss. 16mm.
