The Flying Fleet
Six friends, all hoping to become aviators, are to graduate the next day from the United States Naval Academy. When the officer of the day becomes sick, Tommy Winslow has to take his place, while the others go out and celebrate.
From the archive
I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. While reviews were mixed for this air-force drama, it still served as a solid vessel to have heartthrobs Anita Page and Ramon Novarro on screen together. The air stunts were solid, but aren't remembered to be on the same level as films like Wings and Hell's Angels.
