Two boys from the same American small town are recruited into the Air Force during World War I. Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen are the two who also happen to vie for the hand of the same girl, Jobyna Ralston. Clara Bow stars as the doting girl-next-door to Rogers who joins the medical corps to do her part. The movie is famous for being the first Oscar winner for Best Picture, for its still incredible aerial battle scenes, and for the small inclusion of a young Gary Cooper who had as of then not achieved his fame. The movie is the only completely silent film to ever win Best Picture.
