Ironically, regarding this reviewer is concerned the most mixing, Bookmarks a lot of unforgettable minute in Martin Scorsese and John Logan's The Pilot isn't the (undoubtedly impressive) airborne battle at the beginning of the film, or the airplane collision later on, or any of the social goings-on.

Besides, Hughes is hardly averse in jeopardy his life in various other ways, becoming a record-smashing flying ace and later on getting TWA off the ground a lot to the dismay of rival Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin), the head of Frying pan Am.
