The Dawn Patrol (1938)

In 1915 France, Major Brand commands the 39th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. The young airmen go up in bullet-riddled "crates" and the casualty rate is appalling, but Brand can't make the "brass hats" at headquarters see reason. Insubordinate air ace Captain Courtney is another thorn in Brand's side...but finds the smile wiped from his face when he rises to command the squadron himself. Everyone keeps a stiff upper lip.

was reminded of this oldie when the original "flight commander" came on. Amazing performances from all cast members and a brilliant plot line. despite all the time on this film it still remains as gripping to day as it was in 32. Flyboys watch out... here comes the dawn patrol!

The on screen chemistry of Flynn and Niven is amazing and would carry on to several later films. Those planes they are flying are WW1 vintage airplanes...This is how it was done before CGI took the fun out of everything.

[80/B] This is an excellent war drama that focuses on the camraderie, emotional politics, and perseverance of a hard-drinking, stiff-upper-lipped squadron of the Royal Flying Corps during World War I, where routine patrols and daily low-flying sorties against German troop deployments mean the loss of many young, inexperienced fighter pilots, and the the grim accounting of those who survive them. It's all rather dialogue-rich stuff, built on the banter of indomitable friends (and rueful commanders) between missions, snatching merriment where they can before going back up again against bad odds, with measures of cheerful determination and the customary "war is hell" platitudes somewhat staidly presented. It nevertheless sails along very well upon the sturdy wheels of a solid script and pro acting by Rathbone, Niven, and especially Flynn, in fine form and perfectly cast to embody the chipper heroics of these aces. Includes a lot of nifty dogfight footage, and some evocative location cinematography. Well worth your time.

...camaraderie and dogfights and bombing runs and stiff upper lips.

This is such a hard movie to get hold of!! But it has all the elements of an epic - with no CGI!!
