Fighter Squadron - Trailer

The film is set during 1943 at an American air base in England, where contriving Sergeant Dolan beguiles everyone, including disobedient ace fighter pilot Major Ed Hardin. After Ed advances to commander of his unit, he must struggle with his beliefs and think about fighting the enemy as D-Day is getting closer.
