The Cloud Dodger is a 1928 American silent drama film directed by Bruce M. Mitchell and starring real life aviator Al Wilson.

[3][4]As described in a film magazine,[5] Al Williams, a thrill-mad member of the younger generation, is out riding with his sweetheart Sylvia Le Moyne when he steps on the gas and is pursued by a motorcycle police officer.

Since his plane is fully equipped with a minister and witness, the couple are married in the air after Al promises to settle down.

After becoming a flying instructor and a short period as manager of the Mercury Aviation Company, founded by one of his students, Cecil B. DeMille, Wilson became more and more skilled in performing stunts, including wing-walking, and left the company to become a professional stunt pilot, specializing in Hollywood aviation films.
