" John Garfield heads a superlative call in this classic, Oscar-winning tale of the perilois exploits of an intrepid B-17 bomber crew battling its way across the Pacific in the early days of World War II. As both a high-flying adventure and a superb documentary record of "the way it was" in the Pacific theater, Air Force is one of the most exciting and dramatic war movies ever made.
The film opens with the crew of the "Mary Ann" taking off from San Francisco on December 6, 1941 for their destination: the Hawaiin Islands. They are still airborne when they receive the startling report that the Japanese have just devastated Pearl Harbor. With war suddenly thrust upon them, the men set their compass headings due West, taking their Flying Fortress straight into the thick of battle. From Wake Island to the Philippines, then on to the Coral Sea, they fight in one gruelling attack after another. There is no time to rest because there are not enough flight crews trained to relieve them. So on they fly into greater and greater peril, the brave spearhead of America's first response to aggression in the Pacific.
Legendary director Howard Hawks captures with tense, realistic detail the ordeal of the crew's sleepless days and nights, creating a tale of bravery and adventure that features some of the best battle footage ever filmed. An outstanding human drama, an action-packed epic about war duty at its most hazardous, Air Force is a soaring, unforgettable motion picture experience!" "
