Bloodstained missile in spectacular flight! (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

red arrow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spectacular flight' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bloodstained missile' is the wordplay.
'bloodstained' becomes 'red' (I've seen this in other clues).
'missile' becomes 'arrow' (arrow is a kind of missile).
'red'+'arrow'='RED ARROW'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
