On a flight from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, his aircraft hits a thick bank of fog. Reynolds and his co-pilot, Al Williams, are told by their dispatcher to re-route to <a href="/wiki/Saugus,_Santa_Clarita,_California" title="Saugus, Santa Clarita, California">Saugus, California</a>, but Brad safely lands in Los Angeles, anyway. Jim Howell, the Southwestern representative for the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA), and Brad's old nemesis, suspends Brad for 60 days who angrily quits. Brad buys the Comet Airport in <a href="/wiki/Riverdale,_California" title="Riverdale, California">Riverdale, California</a>. The airport mechanic Walt Dorgan is its only asset. </p><p>Ann Rogers tells Brad that her brother Skip, Brad's top student, is flying without his family's consent. Brad is forced to return Skip's deposit just when the bank is about to foreclose on the airport. Brad tries to return to Pacific Airlines to ask for his old job, but is told that he is too old. </p><p>Meanwhile, the CAA begins a Civilian Pilot Training Program at selected universities, with local airports being used. Unknown to Brad, Jim Howell convinces Riverdale banker Crandall to back Brad's airport, as nearby Western Institute of Technology is chosen. Brad becomes an instructor and begins selecting and training his students. Transferring to Western from Texas State is Tommy Howell, Jim's little brother. </p><p>Skip, unable to get his sister's permission to fly, becomes Tommy's roommate, and arranges a meeting between Brad and Ann. Skip is allowed to take a ground crew course. During flight training, Tommy admits to Brad that he is afraid to fly and does so only to please his older brother. Brad gives Tommy early morning lessons in secret. </p><p>Jim thinks that Brad is unfair to his brother, but during one of Tommy's secret lessons, the aircraft's oil line breaks. Brad is forced to knock him out in order to release his hands on the throttle. </p><p>Tommy, thinking the aircraft is crashing, parachutes out over a cavernous mountain range. Brad lands the aircraft safely and convinces a farmer to drive him back to the airport. He takes a second aircraft up to search for Tommy, with Skip joining him. </p><p>Tommy is found hanging by his parachute from a tree over a cliff, and when Brad climbs the tree to release Tommy, a branch breaks, throwing Brad to the ground. With both legs injured, Brad is now unable to fly. When the group does not return, Walt is forced to tell Dean Norris all. </p><p>Norris calls Jim, and a search begins. The next morning, however, Skip tells Brad he must fly the aircraft out himself if the two are to survive. Brad agrees, giving Skip strict instructions on how to fly the aircraft out of the canyon. Skip takes off, but knocks off his left landing gear, trying to clear a mountain top. </p><p>At Comet Airport, Jim and his boss, Gerald Grant, await word from the search parties. Seeing Skip try to land, Walt blocks the runway with his jeep until Jim can take another aircraft up to warn Skip and Brad about their damaged aircraft. </p><p>Learning about the problem, Brad instructs Skip how to execute a safe landing, even on only two wheels. On his second pass at the runway, Skip successfully lands the aircraft. </p><p>Later, Tommy, Skip and the others finish their pilot training, as Brad and Ann are now together, planning their own futures. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=20,000_Men_a_Year&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Randolph_Scott" title="Randolph Scott">Randolph Scott</a> as Brad Reynolds</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Preston_Foster" title="Preston Foster">Preston Foster</a> as Jim Howell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Margaret_Lindsay" title="Margaret Lindsay">Margaret Lindsay</a> as Ann Rogers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mary_Healy_(entertainer)" title="Mary Healy (entertainer)">Mary Healy</a> as Joan Marshall</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Shaw_(American_actor)" class="mw-redirect" title="Robert Shaw (American actor)">Robert Shaw</a> as Tommy Howell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_Ernest" title="George Ernest">George Ernest</a> as Skip Rogers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jane_Darwell" title="Jane Darwell">Jane Darwell</a> as Mrs. Allen</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kane_Richmond" title="Kane Richmond">Kane Richmond</a> as Al Williams</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Maxie_Rosenbloom" title="Maxie Rosenbloom">Maxie Rosenbloom</a> as Walt Dorgan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Douglas_Wood_(actor)" title="Douglas Wood (actor)">Douglas Wood</a> as Crandall</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sen_Yung" class="mw-redirect" title="Sen Yung">Sen Yung</a> as Harold Chong</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Stanton_(actor)" title="Paul Stanton (actor)">Paul Stanton</a> as Gerald Grant</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tom_Seidel&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Tom Seidel (page does not exist)">Tom Seidel</a> as Wally Richards</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Edward_Gargan" title="Edward Gargan">Edward Gargan</a> as Dunk</li> <li>Harry Tyler as Joe Hungerford</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sidney_Miller_(actor)" title="Sidney Miller (actor)">Sidney Miller</a> as Irving Glassman</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Holmes_Herbert" title="Holmes Herbert">Holmes Herbert</a> as Dean Norris (uncredited)</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=20,000_Men_a_Year&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Based on a story by veteran pilot and screenwriter, <a href="/wiki/Frank_Wead" title="Frank Wead">Frank "Spud" Wead</a>, <i>20,000 Men a Year</i> was the first film to document the Civilian Pilot Training Program.
