...golden anniversary as a newsman by saying: "In these 50 years we have seen what seemed a successful system grow slowly and mount steadily to a fair approximation of justice. Then out of God knows where came the change. . . . Where did the money come from? And where the devil has it gone? I am without rudder, anchor or compass. I don't know what is the matter...
...Devil Dogs of the Air (Warner) is an investigation of perhaps the only branch of the U. S. flying service that has hitherto escaped the attention of the cinema- aviators of the U. S. Marine Corps.

Many are the aesthetically beautiful and photographically magnificent shots to be found in the film, while certain other scenes and bits of action hark back to the old "thrillers" in their more daringly tense moments, but which, on the other hand, are strictly...
