Men Against the Sky

Famous flyer Phil Mercedes (Richard Dix) is battling the bottle and crashes his plane. His sister Kay (Wendy Barrie) ends up supporting him. With Europe at war, McLean Aircraft is struggling to build a new fighter plane for a competition. Kay shows chief engineer Martin Ames (Kent Taylor) a plane design by her brother. It intrigues Ames.

It's a B-movie with a plane. The actors are fine. The story is fine if a bit flat. I don't care that much about the business side. I would like more of the real plane and flying. The miniatures are only going so far. It needs some real flying but that probably costs money. This is still very much a B-movie.
