Although Wead (Wayne) is instrumental in advancing the cause of American air power, he endures a troubled personal life, becoming estranged from his wife, Minnie (O'Hara) after the death of their baby. During a bout of drinking, he tumbles down the stairs of his home and is paralyzed. With the help of happy-go-lucky Navy mechanic "Jughead" Carson (Dailey), Wead regains some use of his legs and eventually restores meaning to his life. The film was shot on location at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, using real Navy men as extras.]]> Review: Memorable scene that I saw filmed on location when I was just 6. - The Wings of Eagles This would probably not be considered the best of John Wayne's movies, however it is very good and well worth watching. This movie is very special to me. When it was filmed in Pensacola, at the Naval Air Station in near Warrington, my father (he was in the Navy at the time) took my mother and I to watch the filming of one great scene. I was only 6 at the time, but do remember seeing the scene. I had no idea who the actors were until years later, but then it became more special to me. The scene is about 6 1/2 minutes into the film. It occurs just after John Wayne, on a challenge, takes an Army officer up in one of the sea planes even though Wayne has never soloed. While they are in the air, Maureen O'Hara arrives in her car. As Wayne's plane fly's low over her, she becomes excited and runs down the sea plane ramp into the water (Pensacola bay, just across from Ft. Pickens). I can still remember that scene like it was yesterday. We were standing just behind the white wooden barriers (which can be seen minutes later, after we were moved away, as Maureen O'Hara drives off). We were only about 20 feet from the spot where she drove the car and stopped. When she was out of the car we were very close to her. There were no more than 10 other people, if that many, watching this scene. Very small audience. I do not believe John Wayne was present for that scene. I am sure John Ford was there, but do not remember him being pointed out to me at the time. As a footnote, the hangers in the background are the original ones which have since been torn down. During the filming of the scene, just in front of the barrier we were standing behind was a Navy SP (Shore Patrol). He was twirling his baton with the strap. While the cameras were rolling the strap slipped and the baton bounced on the deck several times. Not sure if they had to re-take or just dubbed out the sound. Review: Go for it. One of his best INHO - Great movie. One of the Duke's best, and I watch his movies many times over. It's a great break from westerns too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000O599VM | | Actors | Dan Dailey, John Wayne, Ken Curtis, Maureen O'Hara, Ward Bond | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,112 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #79 in Military & War (Movies & TV) #703 in Kids & Family DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,771) | | Director | John Ford | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 79863 | | Language | English (Mono) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Charles Schnee, James E Newcom | | Product Dimensions | 7.75 x 5.75 x 0.53 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | May 22, 2007 | | Run time | 1 hour and 50 minutes | | Studio | WarnerBrothers | | Subtitles: | English, French, Spanish | | Writers | Frank Fenton, Frank Wead, William Wister Haines | ## Product Details - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Documentary/Biography, Military & War - **Initial release date:** 2007-05-22 - **Language:** English ## Images ![Wings Of Eagles, The (DVD) (Commemorative Amaray) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Oq4VUfzjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Memorable scene that I saw filmed on location when I was just 6. *by C***E on December 11, 2017* The Wings of Eagles This would probably not be considered the best of John Wayne's movies, however it is very good and well worth watching.
