Plot



In September 1941, Lt. Ilya Streltsov (Pyotr Aleynikov), says goodbye to his parents, Streltsov's father (Nikolai Shamin) and mother (Aleksandra Salnikova).

After graduating from a flying school, Streltsov goes to the air regiment consisting of fighter pilots that defend Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. The air regiment is under the command of Lt. Col. Balashev (Nikolay Bogolyubov).

Streltsov's love is Zoya Vladimirovna (Nina Mazaeva) who serves as a combat medic in the same unit. He thinks that she is more interested in decorated aces than in a rookie. Capt. Goncharov (Pyotr Sobolevsky), Sr. Lt. Cherbina

(Ivan Kuznetsov) and Sr. Lt. Solovyov (Evgeniy Nemchenko) have already become heroes.

Soon Streltsov proves to be a skilled and brave pilot, and he is convinced that Zoya still loves him.

Reception



Under the title, 'The Moscow Sky' and 'Moscow Skies', 'Nebo Moskvy' was released worldwide (with English subtitles). Aviation film historian James H, Farmer in 'Celluloid Wings: The Impact of Movies on Aviation' (1984) described the film's "primitive scenario enhanced by vivid scenes of wartime Russia."Farmer 1984, p. 321. Aviation film historian Stephen Pendo in 'Aviation in the Cinema' (1985) had a similar opinion, noting, "... the film mixed a tepid plot about a daring Army pilot who has an affair with an Army nurse with newsreel footage of aerial combat."Pendo 1985, p. 152.
