The Wings of Eagles
(1957) John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, et al.. ASIN: 6301978595
This was Director John Ford's tribute to those
"naval aviators in leather skull caps"- he did this well, not focusing
on any particular person or event.This is a Navy story about those naval
aviators and maintenance personnel who helped in the advancement of naval
aviation to what it is today, adding of course a mixture of competition
provided by the navy wives and their only rival- the United States Navy.
"Spig" Wead had been a Commander in the U.S. Navy, credited with starting
the Navy's flying program until he was partially crippled in an accident
at home. Wead's story was told in John Ford's 1957 "The Wings of Eagles"
with John Wayne playing the part.
This film will bring tears and some fond memories to those
pioneer naval aviation wives who are still around and had experienced it
all- tough, hardened gals them all. They can tell you many things about
the sugar white sands of Santa Rosa Island; the babies that died in the
1919 influenza rage; the open-air jalopy rides down old Warrington Road
andCoronado Avenue; the large screened front porches in Warrington and
Long Beach; the large flying boats skimming across Pensacola and San Diego
bays; meeting their husbands upon their return landing in the old fighters
and torpedo planes at NAS San Diego; followed by the many naval parties
at Mustin Beach and North Island officers' clubs; and, getting by
with just a Lieutenant's salary with flying pay attached to make ends meet.
John Ford did the movie as a tribute to Spig Wead a fellow
naval friend and screenwriter.
