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.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
