If it manages to survive the overly patriotic whining, this is actually quite a decent drama where you pretty much know how it's going to end. Alan Ladd and June Allyson are a nice couple together, and the story is typical of its time. Unfortunately, there is an exaggerated Air Force promotional atmosphere throughout the entire film, which is sometimes quite distracting, but oh well, it's apparently part of the package.
