Squadron No. 5 (Russian: Эскадрилья № 5) is a 1939 Soviet drama film directed by Abram Room.

The film tells the story of two Soviet pilots, shot down behind enemy lines, infiltrate a German base with the help of anti-fascist resistance to relay vital intelligence and return home.

Plot

Set during a hypothetical war, the Soviet intelligence intercepts a high command order from hostile Germany to cross the Soviet border. A squadron of Soviet bombers, including Squadron No. 5, is sent to bomb German airfields. Despite successfully completing the mission, two Soviet aircraft are shot down by the enemy. The pilots of Squadron No. 5, Major Grishin and Captain Nesterov, parachute into enemy territory.

After capturing German uniforms, they accidentally encounter a group of German anti-fascists who help them infiltrate an underground enemy base. Posing as German officers, they learn the enemy’s plans and use a German radio station to transmit the coordinates of a hidden base to the Soviet bombers. Later, with the help of a German anti-fascist soldier, the heroes seize a plane and safely return to their airfield.
