SADRŽAJ
A tough officer in the marine flying corps is placed in command of a squadron, and finds them poorly disciplined. He enters into a battle of wills with his easy-going second-in-command, a gifted pilot but a poor leader, over the best way to proceed as they prepare to go into battle in Guadalcanal. Second World War adventure, starring John Wayne and Robert Ryan.
