- The Wings of Eagles is a 1957 film about Frank "Spig" Wead and US Naval Aviation from its inception through World War II. The film is a tribute to Wead from his friend, director John Ford. John Wayne plays naval aviator-turned-screenwriter Wead who wrote the story or screenplay for such films as Hell Divers, Ceiling Zero, and They Were Expendable. Soon after World War I is over, "Spig", along with John Dale Price (Ken Curtis, tries to prove to the Navy the value of seaplanes in combat. To do this, Wead pushes the Navy to compete in racing and endurance competitions. Several races are against the US Army aviation team led by Captain Herbert Allen Hazard . Wead spends most of his time either flying or horsing around with his teammates, meaning that his wife Minnie, or "Min", and children are ignored. The night he is promoted to fighter squadron commander, he falls down a flight of stairs at home, breaks his neck and is paralyzed. When "Min" tries to console him he rejects her and the family. He will only let his Navy mates like "Jughead" Carson and Price near him. "Jughead" visits the hospital almost daily to encourage Frank's rehabilitation. Carson also pushes "Spig" to get over his depression, try to walk, and start writing. Being paralyzed and not going anywhere, he has all the time he needs to write. After great success in Hollywood, Wead returns to active sea duty with the Navy in World War II, developing the idea of smaller escort, or "jeep," carriers to augment the main aircraft carrier force. A heart attack sends Wead home before the war's end. Director John Ford is himself represented in the film, in the humorously-named character of John Dodge, played by another Ford favorite, Ward Bond. There is historical license in the movie: one scene shows first the US Army around-the-World flight and then the US Navy winning the Schneider Cup. In fact the US Navy won the Schneider Cup in 1923 and the US Army embarked on the first aerial circumnavigation from March to September 1924. A similar film of the birth of US Army aviation is The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell in 1955.
