The Wings of Eagles (DVD, 2006)

I'm a long time fan of John Wayne. This particular movie is one of three that stars Maureen O'Hara with the Duke and the chemistry between them is magnificent....This program has a wave of strong friendships abound together and today (in my opion) is seldom seen in our society. friends so strong to the end however it ends and still be there for you. The love of a man and wife still there after all those years of being alone is tremendous.....this is my opion

The one & only John Wayne portrays real-life Navy hero Cmdr. Frank "Spig" Wead, the legendary WW1 Naval aviator who was highly instrumental in advancing the cause of American airpower. The great Maureen O'Hara also stars as Spig's wife, and rounding out the impressive cast in this 1957 John Ford classic is Ward Bond, Dan Dailey and Ken Curtis.

At times moving and poignant, at others laugh out-loud funny, filled with action and strong patriotic themes, this is a must for any John Wayne collection. I never tire of watching this truly wonderful film, from a time when patriotism and sacrifice were not met with cynicism from Hollywood. We miss John Wayne!

DVD is just what discription said it was. The seller was fast and prompt with their delivery,but I do not like to have to write these long winded responses to compley .

Another classic with Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne. It is based on the up and down life of a workaholic aviator, turned screenwriter, turned military advisor named "Spigg" Wead (John Wayne). His relationship, or lack thereof, with his wife (Maureen O'Hara) becomes a focal point of the film and supports the old adage about all work and no play. Highly interesting are the scenes where Spigg becomes paralyzed and through dedication and hope learns to walk again with the aid of braces and a cane. Must-see scenes include John Wayne landing a WWI era biplane in a pool during an officer's party at Annapolis and a couple of brawl scenes between Naval aviators and Army pilots. Enjoy!
