- Genre
- war
- Synopsis
- In WW1, Frank and Pete, old buddies, become rivals as one pilots a "wooden crate" biplane and the other drives a "tin can" tank. They bet on who'll win a medal first. But their missions seem jinxed as they run out of fuel, jam machine guns, catch fire, lose a prop. Keeping an eye on each other in battle, the biplane is shot down to crash - atop the tank! They clatter and shoot and finally ram an enemy tank... Both in hospital, both get medals - but continue to argue planes vs tanks!
