Les chevaliers du ciel (1942)
En 1939, dans le nord de l'Ontario (Canada), Johnny Dutton, 'Tiny' Murphy, 'Blimp' Lebec et 'Scrounger' Harris, pilotes dans l'aviation civile, gagnent leur vie en effectuant des vols commerciaux régionaux avec leurs petits appareils. Survient un nouveau pilote, Brian MacLean, qui est d'abord leur concurrent avant de s'associer avec eux. Mais lorsque Brian épouse Emily Foster, la jeune fiancée de Johnny, ce dernier choisit de disparaître. En 1940, avec le début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, 'Tiny', 'Blimp', 'Scrounger' et Brian s'enrôlent volontairement dans la Royal Canadian Air Force, où ils sont affectés à des postes d'instructeurs, en raison de leur âge. Sur la base aérienne d'entraînement, ils font la connaissance de leur supérieur hiérarchique, qui n'est autre que Johnny...
