Captains Of The Clouds - Trailer (by warnervod)

A Hollywood production from 1942, starring James Cagney and Dennis Morgan.  Cagney and Morgan played as a Canadian pilots who joined the Commonwealth Air Training Plan as flight instructors after a successful career as bush pilots in Northern Ontario.

The film was released in February of 1942, and while the United States was just getting into the war, Canada had been involved for two years.  Hollywood producers felt it was important to show that Canada had been active in the war to show a sense of North American pride, and an urge to get Americans feeling the need to support their own troops.
