!!This film features examples of:
* AcePilot: Dwight is a civilian pilot who flies American-made bombers over to England to help the Allies with the war before the U.S. entered the war.
* RomanticFalseLead: Leonora's suitor, Navy Commander Peter Walmsley (John Loder), is clearly "Guy Who Will Be Rejected In Favor of Fred [=MacMurray=]."
* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: Dwight is almost oblivious to the war going on, and is too flippant about it to be believed, to the point that the trope could be called here "Screw the War, We're Having a ScrewballComedy!"
* TomboyishName: Dwight calls Leonora "Steve," after some far-fetched story involving reincarnation.
* UptownGirl: He's a Texan pilot, she's a British aristocrat.
