As he is escorting her to various aircraft to test he falls in love with her unbeknown to him she is Soviet spy Olga Orlief. Colonel Shannon fakes an escape for the two of them back to Russia so he can turn the tables and spy on the Soviets. Great footage of early cold war aircraft.

Jet Pilot is a 1957 American romance spy film filmed in the early 1950s and released in 1957, directed by Josef von Sternberg, with production by Howard Hughes and the cooperation of the U.S. Air Force. A Russian YAK trainer enters U.S. air space as the pilot defects to the United States. Air Force Colonel Shannon (John Wayne) is assigned to escort defecting Soviet pilot Lt. Anna Marladovna. As he is escorting her to various aircraft to test he falls in love with her. Unbeknownst to him she is actually Soviet spy Olga Orlief. Colonel Shannon fakes an escape for the two of them back to Russia so he can turn the tables and spy on the Soviets. Great footage of early Cold War aircraft.

While released in 1957, shooting began all the way back in 1949, with production wrapping in 1953.

Originally intended by the USAF to showcase its latest fighter aircraft, the film missing its intended early 1950s release date meant that by 1957, most of the aircraft showcased in the film were considered obsolete and undergoing replacement by that time.
