''Le Dernier Vol'' (''The Last Flight'') is a French love drama taking place in 1930s Africa, in a desert part of [[UsefulNotes/TheFrenchColonialEmpire French colonies]], where French soldiers try to deal with the conflict with the native Tuareg people.

Among the hardships, sharp [[BothSidesHaveAPoint worldview discussions]] and a lot of {{UST}} ensue between the two.

In reality, the woman who accompanied Lancaster in his famous flight from England to Australia was Jessie 'Chubbie' Miller. Apart from their shared passion for flying, they had indeed a love affair, but its true ending was [[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article1028612.ece somewhat less romantic]].
