Winged Victory
|
October 8, 1943 |
A poignant play by Moss Hart with an enormous cast of armed forces men, and uniquely, women. The show was written by order of General Arnold of the U.S. Army, with all proceeds benefiting the Army Relief Fund of 1943. It told the story of the growth of the Air Force, following six soldiers from civilian life to battlefield flight. Hart traveled 28,000 miles with Air Force men to research the project. It later became a 20th Century Fox film, retaining most of the original cast members. |
