"Men With Wings" (1938) - Fred MacMurray & Ray Milland Pre-War Aviation Drama

Hot-shot Pat Falconer (Fred MacMurray), his brainy neighbor Scott Barnes (Ray Milland) and their young friend Peggy Ranson (Louise Campbell) share a deep love of aviation dating back to the moment of the Wright brothers' historic flight. This obsession with airplanes leads Falconer to the Air Force and wartime heroism and Barnes to a career as an aeronautics engineer. As the years progress, Barnes' and Falconer's friendship is tested by their mutual interest in Ranson.

An amazing American Technicolor war film, directed by William A. Wellman and starring Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland, and Louise Campbell. Donald O'Connor also has a small part as the younger version of MacMurray's character.
