	The film is a fairly straightforward melodrama, with some nice flying sequences. Only towards the end do the pilots see action, when they are required to support ground troops repelling invading “terrorist” forces. Like its predecessor, ''[[Ses Soldate]]'', which featured two of the same actors and was also directed by [[Bertrand Retief]], this was an early example of what was to become an all out effort to boost the image of the military.
