Flight Command is a 1940 American U.S. Navy film from MGM, produced by Frank Borzage and directed by J. Walter Ruben and Frank Borzage (uncredited), starring Robert Taylor, Ruth Hussey, and Walter Pidgeon. It has the distinction of often being credited as the first Hollywood film glorifying the American military to be released after the outbreak of World War II in Europe, a year before the U.S. entered the conflict.

Production

Flight Command had impressive aerial scenes due to the full cooperation of the US Navy, with the loan of VF-6 squadron, flying Grumman F3F biplanes. Noted film pilot and aerial sequence director Paul Mantz was the "air boss" on the production, in charge of all the flying scenes. The USS Enterprise based in California and operating during maneuvers off Hawaii, also featured prominently in the production.

Taylor was especially busy in 1940, with three films in production. He also starred in MGM's Escape and Waterloo Bridge.
