 In carrying the story from the decade which followed the first World War through the years up to an after Pearl HGrbor the di- rector brings to Flight Lieutenant" keen understanding of what is needed for edge-of-the seat adven- ture.
 Director Salko makes effective use of the romance between the flyers son and the daughter of the man he killed. When the boy learns his true Identity, on the eve of his entrance into the Army Air Corps, Fright Lieutenant" zooms to new heights of dramatic and emo- tional effect.
 O'Brien is superb as the father, nero of World War I, ignored by the aces and cadets of World War 1T. Glenn Ford and Evelyn Reyes, who appear in the romantic roles, are equally fine, as are lesser mem oers of the stellar cast.
