!!''I Wanted Wings'' shows the following tropes:
*AcePilot: Both and John and Jeff are ones. Al eventually gets his wings.
*AlliterativeAppeal: When Jeff complains about Carolyn and her rejecting him as the model for her magazine photo shoot:
-->'''Jeff''': The lady with lens is on the loose!
*BettyAndVeronica: Sally and Carolyn vie for Jeff, although Carolyn has the upper hand.
*TheDitz: John Cassidy might have been dropped on his head.
*GoldDigger: Sally is only after Jeff because he’s rich and she’ll stop at nothing to get what she wants.
*GlamourousWartimeSinger: Sally counts even if the US hadn’t entered WWII yet.
*GrumpyOldMan: The "colonel" who hangs around the base complains that no one respects the fact that he was the first man in the air (in a balloon) during the Civil War.
*HowWeGotHere: The film begins with Jeff Young (Milland) being court-martialled for the crash of a B-17 Bomber and the death of a civilian woman on board and the rest of the story is told in flashbacks.
*JustPlaneWrong: {{Averted}}: As Creator/{{Paramount}} had full access to the Air Corps planes (B-17 bombers) and their training fields. The United States Army Air Corps gave the film 1,160 aircraft for the flying sequences.
*OhCrap: When the boys go out for a joyride, [[spoiler: John crashes and dies.]]
