High Flight is a 1957 CinemaScope British Cold War film, directed by John Gilling and starring Ray Milland, Bernard Lee and Leslie Phillips.[3]
The title of the film was derived from the 1941 poem of the same title by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee Jr., an Anglo-American aviator who flew for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and lost his life in 1941 over RAF Cranwell, where much of the film was shot.[4][N 2]
