Capt. Jim Gordon's command of the famed American mercenary fighter group in China is complicated by the recruitment of an old friend who is a reckless hotshot.
Jim Gordon commands a unit of the famed Flying Tigers, the American Volunteer Group which fought the Japanese in China before America's entry into World War II. Gordon must send his outnumbered band of fighter pilots out against overwhelming odds while juggling the disparate personalities and problems of his fellow flyers. In particular, he must handle the difficulties created by a reckless hot-shot pilot named Woody Jason, who not only wants to fight a one-man war but to waltz off with Gordon's girlfriend.
"They were the terror of the sky, a small daring band of American mercenaries who soared into battle against the Japanese in defense of China's freedom. They were aces, adventurers and heroes, America's hottest fighter pilots - 'The Flying Tigers'! Possessing unmatched skill and bravery, Jim Gordon (John Wayne), the Tigers' commander, is the top gun of China's skies. But he faces a battle on the ground when his good friend Woody Jason is suspected of recklessly causing the death of a fellow pilot and is accused of stealing Jim's fiancée. Jim's fight to retain his respect for Woody while maintaining the solidarity of his pilots is an explosive battle of courage and heroism that lights up the sky with action!" according to the DVD sleeve description.

This looks like it was rushed together from other war stories featuring brave flight commanders and his heroic crews, with all the familiar theatrics - the exception that Captain Wayne (as "Pappy" Gordon) doesn't ease his pain with alcohol can be explained as the film's release during wartime necessitated a pro-war slant. Director David Miller and Republic Pictures owe their greatest debt to Howard Hawks, which can be evidenced by viewing "The Dawn Patrol" (1930) and "Only Angels Have Wings" (1939). "Flying Tigers" is usually claimed to be Wayne's first war picture, though he'd been fighting mightily in previous films. Herein, Mr. Wayne is a steadfast but easy to pushover leader, hotshot John Carroll (as "Woody" Jason) gets most of the script action, cute nurse Anna Lee (as Brooke Elliott) cleans up quickly in the bath, and Paul Kelly (as "Hap" Davis) supports the team well. Mouseketeers will recognize a young Jimmie Dodd.

The picture should have been titled "Flying Sharks", to match the painted airplanes. It starts with a quote from "Generalissimo" Chang Kai-Shek, who praises United States forces for their glorious support of his invincible Chinese people. So sad, the Chinese are unable to conjure up a plate of roast beef for Captain Wayne. No matter. The first big story stumble occurs when Wayne advises Mae Clarke (as Verna) to have her husband report for duty in the morning without revealing that the two had spoken; hopefully, Ms. Clarke was able to figure something out. The film is so programmed and artificial, it's difficult to recommend - but, many in the cast are enjoyable, and they've included some good, action-packed aerial footage.

***** Flying Tigers (10/8/42) David Miller ~ John Wayne, John Carroll, Anna Lee, Paul Kelly This is a black and white film in more ways than one. The Japanese ("Japs") are portrayed as ruthless, remorseless killers who wouldn't hesitate to shoot a man in his parachute. The Americans ("Joes") are a bunch of loveable lugs fighting on the side of right, helping pre-Communist China fight Imperial Japan's war machine. The corny dialog is as high as the P-40's cockpit, but there are several bits of sophisticated dialog, usually with a black-humor tinge. Flying Tigers was not a big-budget film, with what appears to be Northridge, CA subbing for China, but there's enough action and explosions to make any male viewer happy (and some sappy love interest, too). The effects range from the sophomoric to the spectacular (including some dizzying dogfights) and the fighter planes on both sides have an oil-sprayed, bullet-pocked look which is quite authentic. Other attention to detail: the Americans were basically paid mercenaries and one of them makes no bones that he is killing for cash; the flying tactics are mostly accurate as the actual P-40s in China were, on their own, no match for Japanese Zeroes. You might think this is just a John Wayne movie, circa 1942, so how violent could it be? Well, it's not for the small fry. Blood spurts and spews from wounds, especially eyes and throats and there's one scene where Wayne surveys the instrument panel of a dead flyer and it's dripping with oil and blood. It's not gory in the Spielberg tradition, but it's not something I'd recommend for the kiddies. By the way, Victor Young's pretty love theme was deftly parodied by Elmer Bernstein in another air classic: Airplane.
