The aspirant Pierre Dourdan is characterized by an absolute lack of luck . Returning from a mission with an unhooked bomb under a wing, his landing is laborious. Summarizing the "glitches" that occurred to Dourdan, his superiors decide that he needs a little relaxation and send him, accompanied by Lieutenant Chardonneret, to spend a few days in Marrakech. During the journey, Dourdan mistakes an American plane for a German and shoots it down.
Dourdan 's reputation is so dismal he is nicknamed "la saucisse" (sausage);Jean Richard and Roger Pierre are good comic actors ,but the best scene ,which takes place in a house where the heroes have a warm welcome after shooting down a would be German fighter plane ,sees omnipresent Noel Roquevert steal the show from them: enthused by the so called pilots' feat ,he begins to tell his own story in WW1.
Based on a novel called "les cochons n'ont pas d'ailes " ( pigs don't fly),some good fun moments ,but do not ask too much.
