Unbelievable drama of a love triangle between a pilot, a crook and a cheat. There's a bit of comedy but it doesn't do anything to advance the plot, only the running time. It only takes off into the wild blue yonder when hero Lloyd Hughes gets involved in an alleged scheme to rip off company payroll, with the other man no less! Shirley Grey may be pretty and perky, but I found no logical reason for her to be leading Hughes on. Character actor Berton Churchill does add some humor at the beginning, while in the last ten minutes, there is a genuine attempt to add some suspense as the villain attempts to make Hughes crash. I don't know what the payroll's destiny was supposed to be, but ultimately, it's more air headed than air eagles.
