THE DAWN PATROL, Errol Flynn’s final film of his busiest year as an actor (1938), is a arresting counterpoint to his usual swashbuckling and light comical roles. A remake of Howard Hawks’ 1930 classic, this is a narrative of war-weary WWI aviators, called upon to risk their lives daily, in venerable aircraft, on missions they believe impossible (a timeless war theme that would reappear in such WWII classics as Impart DECISION and TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH) . Directed by WWI extinct Edmund Goulding, best known for his big-budget romances (Ample HOTEL), the film counterpoints the gritty, harsh realities on the ground with the nearly surreal quality of early air battles, as bi-planes with initiate cockpits whirl and swoop like insects, and enemy airmen would occasionally tumble out possessions of tiresome pilots over airfields, in a chivalrous gesture.
Fellow pilots Courtney and Scott (portrayed by real-life friends Flynn and David Niven, again showing the rapport they had demonstrated so effectively in 1936’s THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE) are battle-tested veterans, hell-raising survivors of a squadron decimated by the war. Seeing a constant influx of ‘green’ kids replacing lost friends, and incandescent too well that the rookies’ inexperience will speedy cost them their lives, the pair vent their infuriate against their commander, the coldly ‘by-the-book’ Maj. Heed (in a great performance by frequent Flynn nemesis, Basil Rathbone) . Courtney constantly condemns and belittles Maj. Label, accusing him of placing ‘The Mission’ over the lives of the men under his converse, which makes Courtney a hero in the eyes of the fliers.
Finally, Label cracks, and is common for reassignment, and Courtney is chosen to replace him. In a much scene, Tag lets his icy ‘facade’ down, and reveals, bitterly, to the younger man that seeing his men sent on suicide missions, daily, had literally crushed him. Unknown to the squadron, Designate had constantly begged HQ to ease up, but had been ’shot down’ each time, as the missions were famous. “Now it’s YOUR turn,” Heed sneers, “Gawk how YOU savor it!”

Brand’s words are prophetic, as Courtney lickety-split discovers himself in the same status, as the despised scapegoat, with Scott assuming the role of spokesperson and savior to the squadron. And the most perilous mission yet has impartial arrive down from HQ…
DAWN PATROL is a great film, with mammoth performances from the entire cast, particularly Flynn, who had often begged the WB to give him roles beyond his ’swashbuckler’ image. The indispensable praise it garnered proved Flynn’s versatility as an actor (although public expect would withhold him ‘locked’ into adventure films), and raised David Niven up to ’star’ site.
It remains one of the BEST films about the ‘Great War’, and shouldn’t be missed!
This movie is a multi-level film. On the one hand, we have the action-adventure element of WW I British pilots valiantly waging the air-war over France in 1915. The other level is a dim anti-war film stressing the apprehension of warfare, the grim cost to comrades, and the nerve-wracking problem of squadron commanders caught between the daily sacrifices of their squadron and the unrealistic expectations of headquarters. Basil Rathbone is the harassed Major Notice. Rathbone’s nervous, high-strung acting style is well excellent to this role. Two of his best pilots, Courtney (Errol Flynn) and Scott (David Niven), treat Heed with ill-concealed contempt for the hard decisions he is compelled to construct. Among his many frustrations, Major Notice is ordered to consume inexperienced young pilots as replacements. It becomes a distressingly familiar experience for Major Heed to count the number of planes as they zoom overhead, returning to imperfect from the latest deadly mission. Seven went out today; only five returned. While on the ground, the pilots imbibe a prodigious amount of liquor, and listen endlessly to the gramophone play a scratchy rendition of a celebrated song titled “Hurrah for the Next Man to Die.” The dim humor of this is exciting, especially to Scott. Due to an ironic twist of fate, Major Designate is promoted to a headquarters job because of a gallant independent mission, spectacularly pulled off by Courtney and Scott. Ticket is told to name his absorb replacement, and he doesn’t hesitate to name Courtney as squadron commander. Suddenly Courtney is in the identical no-win plot for which he held Sign in contempt. Things become even more tense after Scott’s younger brother arrives as one of the green replacements Courtney is ordered to do in the air against the grimly efficient German pilots; who are led by a Manfred von Richthofen (i.e., Red Baron) type named Von Richter.

The aerial sequences are visually impressive and fascinating. Errol Flynn and David Niven are appropriately dashing as they face misfortune with courage fierce in their eyes. Between missions, they catch in riotous humor and sportive hi-jinks to ease the tension. One senses, however, there is an enforced gaiety to their antics to counter the rigors of war. Courtney evolves from the fearless flyer into the harassed commander. Finally, an especially uncertain mission is ordered. The mission is impossible to enact for an entire squadron, but “one man, flying indecent” might succeed. As an act of personal redemption, Courtney takes the set of the incapacitated Scott, and flies the mission. The film balances the romantic visions of war as adventure with the hard realities of aerial combat. There is chivalry and grace, but also frailty and breakdown. The glory is tempered by the memory of fallen comrades, some of whom never had a chance. This film is a stark dissimilarity to Errol Flynn’s more light-hearted adventure movies (e.g., Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, etc.) The aerial dogfights, the air attack on the enemy munitions factory, and the destruction of the enemy aerodrome are entertaining enough to please action fans. The anti-war elements of the film are concept provoking. A beautiful cast and an intellectual script acquire this more than impartial another war movie. Recommended viewing.
