An early epic film,that enthralled the audiences of the day., 2 April 2001
Author: Leonard Curtis (lenliqbar) from Brighton England

I saw this film (movie) in about 1933 and still remember every scene. Without the use of bad language it conveyed the fear,excitement,and gallantry of the time. The German evil was perhaps overplayed,but it was made just a very few years after the War. The flying scenes were dramatic and at least as effective as any made in recent years.

Is it possible to obtain a copy?if so where.
