Synopsis
Air Force est un film de 1943 dirigé par Howard Hawks. Il relate l'histoire de l'équipage du Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Mary'Ann au début de la guerre du Pacifique de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Le film débute avec le vol de Californie à Hawaï du Mary-Ann. L'escadrille de B-17 non armés arrive sur l'aéroport de Hickam Field juste pendant l'attaque de Pearl Harbor des japonais le 7/12/1941.
C'est basé sur un fait authentique. Les opérateurs radar américains avaient bien détecté les avions japonais en approche, mais avaient cru que c'était le vol de B17 attendus.
Le B-17 "Mary Ann", cette fois-ci armé, poursuit seul son périple en direction de l'atoll de Wake et de la base de Clark Field (en) près de Manille aux Philippines, pendant les attaques des japonais et quelques heures avant qu'ils ne s'en emparent. C'est l'occasion de montrer les soldats américains courageux et déterminés, bien que sachant que leur situation est sans espoir..
