Title: Dive Bomber
Review: A true aviation buff's film! Not a war film, but a pre-war film about the approaching conflict the US would soon find itself in and the problems aviation medicine faced in it's attempts to keep the American pilot number 1 in the skies. The flying sequences are beautifully handled with only minor model work (during the two crash scenes) and the film appeared well researched (though the Navy did not use the high pressure suit during the war). Like the mini-documentary hosted by Robert Osborne says on the DVD, "What's not to like?" It's got Errol Flynn, Fred MacMurray, Ralph Bellamy, the rousing score by Max Steiner and the aircraft of US Naval Aviation in all those colorful pre-war paint jobs in vivid Technicolor! Bravo!
