Monthly Film Bulletin - 8/10 by MFB CriticsNo other film has so subtly and so truthfully portrayed the life of the airman in war, its problems, its hazards, its exaggerated casualness towards death, its courage, its humour, its comradeship.

User Review - 8/10 by Michael TExceptionally well-written and acted; one of the best of the British WWII dramas.
User Review - 8/10 by Jon ANothing compared to imaginative work of Powell/Pressburger, Reed or Lean, but it's quiet and sad and rather touching.
User Review - 8/10 by Nick SVery decent British war movie. Excellent characterisation dealing with the realities of the lives of the airmen on the ground. Decent performances and a solid script makes this one to check out.
User Review - 8/10 by Siân POne of my favourite war films. Never schmaltzy, but dealing with the realities of wartime and relationships. Oh and John Mills won the war single-handedly didn't he?
