Flight Command Movie Still

Photo still from the 1940 movie!

Stars Robert Taylor, Ruth Hussey, Walter Pidgeon, Shepperd Strudwick, Red Skelton! Ensign Alan Drake (Taylor) is assigned to the elite "Hell Cat" squadron of Navy fliers based in San Diego, despite being relatively inexperienced. Getting off on bad footing by ruining the squadron's chances of winning a target-shooting competition, Drake is encouraged by Jerry Banning (Strudwick), an officer whose sister Lorna (Hussey) is the wife of the squadron commander, William Gray (Pidgeon). Drake and Banning work on a device to help airplanes land in the fog, but when Banning is killed testing it and Drake appears to be getting romantically entangled with Lorna, the men of the squadron turn on Drake. Only when Commander Gray is in jeopardy does Drake get a chance to show his fellow fliers what kind of man he really is. Double matted 11" x 14"; image approx. 6.5" x 9.5"
