Aces High(1976)

High above the trenches 14 days is a long life...This is the 15th day!

5.9(90)1h 54mMay 19, 1976

Synopsis

The first World War is in its third year and aerial combat above the Western Front is consuming the nation's favored children at an appalling rate. By early 1917, the average life-span of a British pilot is less than a fortnight. Such losses place a fearsome strain on Gresham, commanding officer of the squadron. Aces High recreates the early days of the Royal Flying Corps with some magnificently staged aerial battles, and sensitive direction presents a moving portrayal of the futilities of war.

Directed by Jack Gold
