The Burning Sky (燃ゆる大空, Moyuru ōzora) is a 1940 black-and-white Japanese war film produced and directed by Yutaka Abe, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya.

[5] The early part of The Burning Sky depicts the training and life of young airmen at the Kumagaya Army Flight School in a realistic and sometimes humorous manner, and serves as an advertisement for military enlistment.

Kazuo Hasegawa appears in the role of a military doctor attached to the Army Air Service in order to attract a female audience.

Later, Tatsunoko Production's 1971 television series Animation: Keizai [ja] used an instrumental version of "The Burning Sky" as background music.

The plane's wings are in turmoil, it's a storm, it's raining,The sparkling propellers are the first to dedicate themselves to the empire,Our brave and invincible wings.We are the elite, our fighting spirit is inexhaustible.

Far above the ground, both in the south and in the north,We attack and defend, fighting and bombing in every direction.Say hello to the devil's wings on the front lines.We conquer the skies of East Asia with the help of radio waves.

Open up the skies, hope, road, Seven Seas,Conquer the continent, and advance through culture,Let's say the wings of the Golden Goose in high spirits,We, young people, will surpass the world and bear the prestige of our nation.
