Aces High
The first World War is currently in its third year and the favored children of the nation are being consumed by aerial combat above the Western Front at an appalling rate. By early 1917, the average life span of a pilot would be less than a fortnight. Such losses place a fearsome breed commanding officer of this squadron, on Gresham. Aces High recreates early days of the Royal Flying Corps with some superbly staged battles, and sensitive direction presents a moving portrayal of this futilities of war.
