A Romance of the Air is a 1918 American silent drama film based on the book En L'air (1918), by Bert Hall, one of America's first combat aviators, flying with the famed Lafayette Escadrille in France before the United States entered World War I.

The pair are accompanied by Day's best friend, the Countess of Moravia (Florence Billings), who claims sympathy with the Allied cause.

After a trial by military tribunal, he is sentenced to be shot, but his American lover uncovers evidence that saves him at the last moment.

The aerial scenes in A Romance of the Air were flown by Bert Hall at the Thomas-Morse Aircraft Corporation airfield in New York.
