Don't let its age fool you -- Wings is no rickety antique. Wellman' s aerial battle scenes remain impressive, even in the digital age. Bow is charming and terribly funny, especially when trying to rescue Rogers from a Parisian brothel. The boys are quite good, too, but their efforts pale next to a brief cameo by Gary Cooper, who positively smolders as the existential rookie who makes his own luck.

The story -- which has originality and compelling interest to recommend it -- is forgotten as the spectator, clenching his hands, relives those great victories lost and won "on the wing." [03 Dec 1927, p.11]
