The Lost Squadron
“-Not a War Picture- But a war picture in the making! -Planes flying, crashing, while below cameras grind, and an inhuman genius drives men to destruction for the supreme thrill!”
When World War I comes to an end, three pilots find themselves on hard times. They wind up in Hollywood, where they work as stunt fliers for a sadistic director.
