Air Hawks
''Air Hawks'' is a 1935 American aviation-themed science-fiction film based on Ben Pivar's "Air Fury", an unpublished story. Director Albert Rogell who had moved from shorts to B-films, was interested in aviation and had already helmed ''The Flying Marine'' (1929) and ''Air Hostess'' (1933). In ''Air Hawks'', the studio was able to add an A-list star, Ralph Bellamy, as well as exploiting the fame of record-setting pilot Wiley Post in his only feature film appearance.〔("Air Hawks (1935)." ) ''IMDb.''

Although limited in budget and production values, the introduction of a "death ray" elevated the modest programmer into the science-fiction genre.〔("Notes: Air Hawks". ) ''Turner Classic Movies.'' Retrieved: March 20, 2013.〕
==Plot==
Pilot Barry Eldon (Ralph Bellamy) is the owner of Independent Transcontinental Lines whose airline is in direct competition with Martin Drewen (Robert Middlemass), owner of Consolidated Airlines. With Renee Dupont (Tala Birell), a singer at a nightclub owned by Victor Arnold (Douglas Dumbrille), he believes that his airline's air mail routes will ensure success against his rival.
Arnold decides to ally himself with Drewen who has hired German inventor Shutter (Edward Van Sloan), the inventor of a death ray projector. With this device, they bring down three of Eldon's aircraft. Determined to set a new transcontinental record with Wiley Post flying the racer, Eldon has the help of his girlfriend to eventually expose his rivals and destroy their secret headquarters. A new contract in Washington awaits.
