Synopsis:
Commander Frank "Spig" Wead was a pioneer aviator, renowned screenwriter (whose works include John Ford's They Were Expendable) and a man of war. The skies beckon "Spig" to action, but a crippling injury ultimately leaves him powerless to act, propelling him to discover the power of his pen. He was talented, driven, flawed, a friend of Ford's - and the subject of this compassionate biography.
John Wayne portrays "Spig" and Ford directs The Wings of Eagles, which also offers a fascinating glimpse into the ways and world of Ford: Ward Bond plays movie maker John Dodge, a role modeled on Ford; Maureen O'Hara, Wayne's five-time costar (including Ford's The Quiet Man), and Dan Dailey (of Ford's 1952 What Price Glory?) play Spig's indomitable wife Min, and cigar chomping sidekick "Jughead" Carson.
