Air Devils is a 1938 American action comedy film directed by John Rawlins, based on an original story, “The Fighting Marines” by Harold Buckley. The film stars Larry J. Blake, Dick Purcell and Beryl Wallace.

Plot
Set in the island of Taro Pago in the years before World War II, two former Marine pilots, John P. “Horseshoe” Donovan (Larry J. Blake) and Percy “Slats” Harrington (Dick Purcell), are hired as air “constables” (constabularies) to keep order on the remote Pacific island. Both friends vie for the attentions of Marcia Bradford (Beryl Wallace) and, through a series of misadventures, find that neither will win out.

The two pilots find that local tavern owner, Tom Mordant (Charles Brokaw), has been stirring up the natives and a civil war is brewing. The two rivals have to combine forces to stop violence and bring the island back to peaceful times.
