Reception
Frank Nugent of The New York Times said, "With all due respect to the Coast Guard, which probably will be as upset about some phases of Border Flight as we were, we hope that this will be the last of the "service" films. It seems that, no matter which branch of the government Hollywood tackles, it always is stumbling upon one patriot and one chap who think the uniform is so much spinach. They invariably are rivals for the same young woman and the scoffer inevitably repents his treasonable ways. Either Hollywood is all wrong about this thing, or we should have a Congressional investigation. Meanwhile, note Border Flight as just another program picture."[2]
