Underrated drama about the fledgling Royal Flying Corps during the First World War and the members of the British Upper class who piloted the planes. Taken at face value, Aces High is a historically correct War film, which benefits greatly from excellent aerial sequences and a top class cast. It is also an emotional and moving character study, which delves deep into the psychosis of the young men whose life expectancy was even lower than the foot soldiers who fought in the trenches. Excellent movie that looks at a different side of conflict in the Great War.
