This series of nine flight training films was produced and directed for the US Navy by actor and Hollywood legend Robert 'Bob' Taylor, who starred in over 80 films including Waterloo Bridge, Bataan, Ivanhoe, and Billy the Kid. Taylor was a Lieutenant in the USNR and an active flight instructor during the War, and it shows in this comprehensive presentation. Taylor teaches cadets everything from ground school talks on the theory of aeronautics and flight to hands on throttle, stick, and rudder training on turns, banks, trimming, climbs, stalls, approaches and much more. These films also give plenty of insights into a wartime flight school, punctuated by humerous vignettes, illustrations, and animations.

The other star of these films is the beloved Stearman NS2 biplane trainer, aka 'The Yellow Peril'. This sweet biplane was the first step up for tens of thousands of pilots during World War II, and many are still flown to this day by its legion of loyal fans.
