Stunning aerial maneuvers, tree-top chases and hair-raising pursuits through narrow rock canyons mark this sailplane adventure story. Haunted by a mysterious superpilot, a young glider pilot first flees, then confronts his challenger. In his fixed wing, 30-foot glider he finally draws abreast of the rival plane....and learns who the pilot really is.

DAWN FLIGHT is both a film about the wonder of soaring and a film about self-discovery. The symbolic dawn in the title bespeaks the sense of renewal that comes to the young glider pilot when he conquers his fear and meets the challenges presented to him by a mysterious pursuer.
