Rating: 3.5/4 --
The Flying Leathernecks packs a surprising amount of intelligent insight in with its nationalistic rally cry.

This is the most ordinary film Nicholas Ray ever made.

Rating: 4/5 --
Pure WWII jingo and John Wayne. But stylish and heroic nonetheless.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
This is arguably Ray's least distinguished film, a relatively conventional, anonymous WWII drama made for RKO mogul Howard Hughes.

Rating: B --
Though John Wayne plays a similar role to that of his other WWII movies (Sands of Iwo Jima), the tough but sensitive commander, this picture is better than the rest due to smooth and crispy direction by Nicholas Ray.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Marine fighter squadron VMF 247 is in the thick of it on Guadalcanal. The airstrip they hold is hammered by offshore batteries. Malaria and combat fatigue grip the men. Fuel is low and replacement parts are few. The only things not in short supply are the enemy...and Major Don Kirby's determination to keep fighting with whatever he has.
