The film describes actions of the soviet torpedo bombers over the Barents Sea. You'll feel ruthless horror of war and cold of the Northern seas. You'll see why torpedo bomber usually made only three battle flights. It is hard to beleave, but one of the last scenes of the film -- fire in the cockpit -- is ABSOLUTELY realistic. However, excellent use of the original chronicle film and air film shooting.

I believe that movie one of the best about Soviet pilots fighting in World War II. Alongside with this movie I recommend very much to look "V boj idut odni stariki" [Only Old Men Are Going to Battle (1973)] - these are the best movies about soviet pilots.
