Le Tigre du ciel (1976)
Octobre 1917, en France. Croft, un tout jeune aviateur anglais qui ne comptabilise pas plus de quinze heures de vol, est envoyé à sa demande dans une escadrille de la Royal Flying Corps, dont fait partie son futur beau-frère, Gresham, un as de l'aviation. Mais sur place, ses fantasmes de gloire s'évanouissent. Gresham ne peut pas monter dans son avion sans avoir bu ; un autre, terrassé par la peur, s'invente des maladies pour rester au sol. Seul Sinclair, le commandant de l'escadrille, semble tenir ses hommes debout. Il ne manque pas une occasion d'organiser des fêtes mémorables pour les distraire. La nuit, la troupe s'oublie dans une succession de bacchanales sans fin. Le jour, les hommes meurent un à un dans leurs tombeaux volants, décimés par l'artillerie et les pilotes allemands.
