Comment
After several planes are shot down in the same area the air force and the company building the planes narrow the culprit down to five ex-World War 1 pilots. They bring them together in once place to find the culprit, but each of the suspects get shot out of the sky one by one. The plot is a very strange version of the remote country house where people are killed one by one, but this time it is in aerial dogfights. The flying scenes are not great, neither is the acting and Lona Andre's character is really only there to bring some glamour to the film.
