Trama
Imprese dell'equipaggio del B17 (Fortezza volante) Mary Ann sul fronte del Pacifico (Manila, Pearl Harbor, Mar dei Coralli) durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Uno dei migliori film d'aviazione (e di propaganda) girati durante la guerra. Il merito è della sceneggiatura di D. Nichols (candidata all'Oscar), ricca di risvolti e di tensione, del bianconero di J. Wong Howe, dell'omogenea squadra d'interpreti, del modo con cui Hawks sottolinea i temi della costrizione e del rapporto tra le singole unità e un organismo più vasto
