Sure, it's played TCM many times, but it's usually listed by it's TV reissue title: FLIGHT COMMANDER.

Great performance by James Finlayson who really gets to demonstrate his acting chops.

The Warner Archive website says the film has been newly remastered and the original title card restored. Their Facebook page adds that the sound has also been remastered, from the original Vitaphone discs.
