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!
