War; war at its most feverish, with life keyed up to the highest pitch - the reckless gaiety of a Royal Flying Corps Mess, with tragedy of the cruellest always hanging overhead; the thrills and pangs of war, felt again in retrospect by two of the men who lived through it into the bitter days of disillusionment, reaction and Peace; war, the barren destroyer, is the theme of ‘The Night Fighters’, in which we are shown glimpses of one of the countless tragedies that it sows.
