Released in 1920, Flying Pat is a comedy film directed by F. Richard Jones, running about 50 minutes. “In the air, she could roar like a kite, And her loving was just "out of sight." But she sure could spurt fire When a man raised her ire; And amuck in a kitchen-good night!” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Wild flapper Patricia Van Nuys decides to become a pilot like her husband Robert, but with a difference--she wants to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by airplane. Capt. Endicott, a friend of Robert's, offers to teach her how to fly. One day while aloft in the plane, the craft takes a sudden nosedive and crashes. The pair walk away uninjured and find shelter in a roadhouse. Robert, upon hearing of this, becomes jealous of Pat's spending so much time with Endicott, which angers Pat. She decides to leave Robert and slips out of the house to catch an evening train, but unfortunately, Endicott is also aboard the train. Robert finds out about that, too. Complications ensue.
