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; a crippling injury, ultimately left, and 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. The result is a heartfelt tribute with the directorial touch only John Ford could bring to this kind of filmmaking.
