Review of Air Cadet

Yes indeed, there are all sorts of people who attend the air force cadet school to be fighter pilots, and along the way, there are all sorts of obstacles that stand in their way. Alex Nicol, Robert Arthur and Richard Long are the cades; Among their trainers are Stephen McNally and Rock Hudson, seen earlier as their first trainer before they move onto the advanced academy, having it in for the brash Nicol. But there's a soft side to Nicol, protecting young rich kid Arthur who seems to become Hudson's pet project, seemingly humiliated by Hudson with all sorts of exercises utilized to put him through the roughest tests so he can move onto the next level. The first half of the early training moves onto a more traditional romantic triangle between McNally, his estranged wife Gail Russell and Long. Of course, there's plenty of air action, and this results in your standard patriotic military drama that came along as America was getting heavily involved in its latest conflict. Decent for the B picture it is, but not one of the military classics.
