Resume:
First watch: 1973 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 8
The plane section is hilarious. I love all of it. The army part is a little flat. The drill sergeant has been done plenty of times. It is saved by Curly's wild antics. This is overall a fun one.
What was interesting about this short subject is for once Moe was getting the business. He gets blown up in an inflatable suit and it's Larry and Curly that have to bring him down. Of course he's the same old Moe when he's back on terra firma.
Their test for the army is a bust for their plane in Stooge style. And lucky us they're drafted. We still defeated Hitler in spite of that.
This is a very good Three Stooges short. Harry Semels and Al Thompson are in this one. Richard Fiske is also in the short but his scenes are from archive footage from another Three Stooges short called Boobs in Arms. This is a very good Three Stooges short with many funny parts and I recommend it!

- TriviaThe first Three Stooges short to utilize a sound effect to accompany a finger-poke in the eye.
- GoofsWhen the Stooge's Buzzard goes into a tailspin, another plane streaks by with colored smoke trailing behind. This suggests the filmmaker's used footage from an air-show.

Curly Wrong: Oh I see, I saw!
[saws Moe's arm]
Moe Wrong: [grabs the saw from Curly] Not like that, like this!
[smacks Curly in the face with the saw then saws his head as Curly yells in pain]
