Flying Tigers

Flying Tigers was one of those big ones John Wayne did during that time. Clearly an ambitious effort for the smaller studio, and it payed off on a large scale. A major hit for Republic Pictures, and 3 nomination for the Oscars to boot. Besides Wayne, the film made good use of John Carroll as sort of a Clark Gable replacement, with the two fighting for Anna Lee time in between suicide flights in China. The drama is good, the action better. It's certainly a movie of it's time. Getting grimmer.
