The beat shows a title card with a silhouette of an airplane flying through clouds, overlaid with text crediting the director. A voice recites a poetic monologue about flight and resolve during night missions.
“We'll never be there, never care, when e'er we need the field. Never be there, we never despair, the fear we never yield. Ready for flight in the dead of the night, over land or sea or storm. Even the fighters are dead in the light, we give her the gun and go. On silver wings we take the air.” 0:01 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
