Aircraft Wood Repair, Part 2: Stiffener Patch (1943) User Reviews

Not as good as the original

[mchengcit · 7/10 · 28 July 2004]

The eagerly awaited sequel to Aircraft Wood Repair, Part 1: Small Scarf Patch, and Doubler Patch, Aircraft Wood Repair, Part 2:Stiffener Patch fails to live up to the hype generated by the original. While Aircraft Wood Repair, Part 1 was an elegant and understated work of brilliance, Part 2 lacks the dramatic tension and depth of emotion that leaves us indifferent to the final two pieces of the series - Part 3: Leading Edge Repair, and Part 4: Bulkhead Repair. However, Part 2 is not without merit. The camera work and shots of the aircraft can be breathtaking at times, but without the cohesion of a well-executed script, this movie leaves us asking "What if?"
