Thunder Birds (1942)
Su una base isolata in Arizona, il veterano pilota della prima guerra mondiale Steve Britt prepara i piloti a combattere nella seconda guerra mondiale. Uno dei suoi allievi, l'inglese Peter Stackhouse, compete con Britt per gli affetti di Kay Saunders, la figlia di un allevatore locale. Nonostante le differenze, Britt si assicura che Peter completi il suo allenamento e diventi un pilota da combattimento, anche se alla fine perde Kay.
