Hell's Angels (1930): Howard Hughes' WWI Aviation Epic
Hell's Angels is a 1930 pre-Code aviation war film directed by Howard Hughes. It follows two brothers with contrasting moral codes who join the British Royal Flying Corps during World War I and compete for the affections of Helen, played by Jean Harlow in her breakout role. The film features real-life aerial dogfights and two-color Technicolor sequences, making it one of the most expensive and daring productions of classic Hollywood.
