This 22-minute short stars its heroic protagonist, Hewitt T. Wheless (1913-1986).
This man actually existed (see his bio in Wikipedia). We observe his call to duty after hearing FDR on the radio, training to be an Army airman, fighting his way through air and sea battles , and crash-landing back into friendly territory.
This little film is both scary and inspiring, a paean to old-fashioned values of a military that saved the world from Nazi domination. Let's never forget that our troops and vets are the reason we're here today, and they deserve a whole lot better.
Narrated by Ronald Reagan.
