Richard Arlen and Chester Morris head a stellar cast in this action drama of the bomber’s trig- ger fighters. The gunner is the fel- low who swats Stukas and Zeros that harass bombers. His part in aerial combat is to protect the plane’s fore and aft, and blast at- tacking planes away from the tail, a very popular target of the en- emy's. In short his is no small task. In “Aerial Gunner,” Arlen and Morris are gunners with chips on their shoulders. To complicate mat- ters they'de also pitted against each other in a contest for beautiful newcomer Lita Ward. Much of the action in the picture .takes place in gunnery school where Morris, as Arlen’s instructor, makes things for him. Considerably adding to the picture’s suspense is the air battle with five attacking Zer with Arlen at the bomber’s controls and Morris handling the rear guns.
