Aces High
The first World War is in its third year and aerial combat above the Western Front is absorbing the nation's favorite kids at an appalling speed. By 1917, the average lifespan of a pilot would be less than a fortnight. Such losses put a breed that is fearsome commanding officer of this squadron, on Gresham. Aces High recreates the early days of the Royal Flying Corps with some beautifully staged aerial battles, and management poses a portrayal of their futilities of war.
