Early 1940s and the US has not yet entered WW2. Major "Chick" Davis is convinced that high-level bombing will win the next war. He convinces the powers-that-be to set up a bombardier school. He efficiently and ruthlessly sets about training the USAAF's first generation of high-level bombardiers.
This film was produced in 1943, so you already know it is going to be more about propaganda than gritty realism. The introductory scenes confirm this, with speeches and hyperbolic propaganda. The movie itself doesn't lay it on too thick though.
As far as the story goes, its okay, though not great. Some lame sub-plots but does end quite well.
