The Way to the Stars

Thrills in the sky ! and romance below ...

The film depicts life on a British bomber base and in nearby towns from the start of the Battle of Britain through the Americans' arrival to join the bomber offensive. Fresh from training, Pilot Officer Peter Penrose joins the squadron and learns wartime realities. He falls for Iris, who lives at the local hotel, but becomes disillusioned about marriage when the squadron commander dies in a raid, leaving his wife—the hotel manageress—to raise their young son. As the war goes on, Penrose comes to terms with having survived while others were killed.
