Trama

- QuizThe test aircraft appears to be a prototype P-40 Warhawk, the predominant U.S. fighter plane at the outbreak of World War II. It is also very similar to a Bf-109 and a Spitfire. So, other than the cockpit being further to the rear, a smaller engine, the wings requiring bracing, the vertical stabilizer being smaller, the horizontal stabilizer attached lower, the fuselage aft of cockpit being less tapered, the test plane is nearly identical to a P-40.

Samuel J. 'Sam' Doyle: Star-spangled banner and home! Gee, I can't believe I'll be with the kid soon. Be able to see him and talk to him. You know, not pictures - the real thing. Oh, I'm going to make it up to him for every minute I've been away...
[a moment of clarity]
Samuel J. 'Sam' Doyle: What's the use of kidding myself - I can't go back.
- ConnessioniFeatured in Destination Murder (1950)
Wouldn't you know it, Ford falls for Evelyn Keyes who's daughter of the guy that got O'Brien cashiered from the army. Now if you can't predict where this one is going you haven't seen too many of these old aviation flicks.
The film has some nice aerial sequences and fans of the vintage planes will enjoy seeing it. Normally I'm a sentimental fellow, but Flight Lieutenant was just a bit too sappy for me. And I'm a fan of both O'Brien and Ford.
There is a nice performance by Frank Puglia as the priest who's parish is located near the ramshackle airline in South America where O'Brien works. By the way if the sets look familiar I think they were used three years earlier in Only Angels Have Wings.
I wouldn't be recommending Flight Lieutenant for other than aviation fans and Pat O'Brien and Glenn Ford fans.
