1h 35min. // In the mud and mist of the Western Front, a Royal Flying Corps squadron staggers through each day knowing tomorrow’s dawn may be their last. Young pilots, some barely out of school, are thrown from the safety of the officers’ mess into rickety biplanes that must face seasoned German aces. To keep their nerves from shattering, they cling to nightly rituals of drinking, singing, and brittle jokes, masking the terror that comes with every morning patrol.
