Product Description

Henry Hathaway's well-regarded World War 2 drama is set on an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific. As the US pilots struggle to play their part in the war and the death toll rises, they begin to doubt their tough flight officer (Don Ameche) but when the battle tide turns they realise he was right all along. Noted for its well-qualified cast and unsentimental direction, the film combines wartime footage and studio set-pieces to recreate the battle action.

Format:DVD
good all round entertainment, showing the frustrations of the american pilots at sea just before pearl harbour, not a lot of action but watchable anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wing and A Prayer 23 May 2012
By P. Long
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoy war films set in WW2, especially those at sea. This is a very very good film, the combat scenes do take quite a long while to happen because of the nature of the carrier's orders but there is plenty of actual footage and the story of the mission is very revealing in the history of what led up to Midway. Very worthwhile buying.
