Air Force Ratings & Reviews
The Nation
James Agee
I cannot be sure how I feel about Air Force. It is loud, loose, sincere, violently masculine, and at times quite exciting.
Esquire Magazine
Gilbert Seldes
There isn't a literary line in Air Force; and there isn't a phony character.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
Air Force can't escape the shadow of its own jingoism. Its point wasn't just to inspire an American public but to make monsters of its enemies. It did so with chilling efficiency.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
A cheery bit of war propaganda that feels cringeworthy today, in which American soldiers seem extraordinarily giddy about the prospect of near-certain death, coupled with some terrible special-effects miniatures.

Emanuel Levy
The versatile Howard Hawks combines personal experience and knowing skills in directing this enjoyable WWII propaganda movie, which was nominated for four Oscars, winning one for editing.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Gritty, emotional actioner made at height of WWII. Strong cast.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
All of director Howard Hawks' skills are on display in this exciting, crackerjack WWII film.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
For a propaganda film, this one is superior.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Although it draws about the longest and most pliant bow that has ever been drawn in the line of fanciful war films and goes completely overboard in the last reel, it is still a continuously fascinating, frequently thrilling and occasionally exalting show.
Cinematic Reflections
Derek Smith
It isn't one of the director's most impressive outputs, but when a solid genre entry such as this is one of your "lesser" films, it says a lot about the quality of your work.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Howard Hawks finds a perfect vehicle for his study of the male group. William Faulkner polished the dialogue, but as a silent it would still be tremendously exciting and evocative.
