High Flight is a 1957 CinemaScope British Cold War film, directed by John Gilling and starring Ray Milland, Bernard Lee and Leslie Phillips.
The title of the film was derived from the 1941 poem of the same title by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee Jr., an Anglo-American aviator who flew for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and lost his life in 1941 over RAF Cranwell, where much of the film was shot.
