Plot Outline: A dramatization of the American general and his court martial for publically complaining about High Commands dismissal and neglect of the aerial fighting forces.
Plot: The true story of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneering crusader for the Armys fledgling air corp. In spite of an impressive performance during the First World War, the commanders of Americas armed forces still think of the airplane as little more then a carnival attraction. Even after sinking an "unsinkable" captured German battleship from the air, Mitchell sees funds dry up and friends die due to poor equipment. He is court-martialed after questioning the loyalty of his superiors for allowing the air corp to deteriorate.

Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- The Mitchell family was very unhappy with the film, especially the casting of the tall, laconic Gary Cooper in the lead role. The real Billy Mitchell was short with an explosive temper. The family thought James Cagney would have been ideal.
- Elizabeth Montgomerys film debut.
