Storyline
Major Chick Davis proves to the U.S. Army the superiority of high altitude precision bombing, and establishes a school for bombardiers. Training is followed in semi-documentary style, with personal dramas in subplots. The climax is a spectacular, if somewhat jingoistic, battle sequence. Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

Trivia
This film represents one of four movies made by Hollywood during the 1940s that were about or related to the US military's Dolittle Raid on Tokyo, Japan, during World War II. The four (the first three considered "fictionalized") are Destination Tokyo; The Purple Heart; this film; and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, the last being the most accurate and least fictionalized of the four.

Audio/visual unsynchronized: Right after Capt. Oliver misses the target with his dive bomber (before the precision bombing demonstration), he is shown in the cockpit saying something but no sound is heard. See more »Quotes
Eugene L. Eubank: [Closing lines voiceover] To put out fire. That is the crusade of the bombardiers, who are already building a great American tradition - a hundred thousand strong!See more »
