Sky Giant

Starring:
Richard Dix (Captain W. R. "Stag" Cahill)
Chester Morris (Kenneth "Ken" Stockton)

Harry Carey (Colonel Cornelius Stockton)
Given the job of training young pilots for important post-war cargo flights, hard-boiled Col. Stockton forces ex-officer Stag Cahill back into the military to be his aide at the academy. Complications arise when Stockton's son Kenneth arrives for training and Stockton, believing his son to be a slackard, looks for an excuse to drop him from the program. Rivalry develops between Stag and Ken as well, as they fall for the same girl.
Note: Principal filming done at Grand Central Air Terminal, Glendale, California.
