Worldwide release on March 20, 2007 Screeners, movie trailer and clip reel now available
Pittsburgh, PA - February 23, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company, a producer and distributor of documentary and instructional films, announced that the worldwide release of the upcoming film, Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of World War II, will take place on March 20, 2007. Screeners are now available on request and a movie trailer and clip reel are available for review and download at www.SilentWingsFilm.com.
Narrated by acclaimed actor Hal Holbrook, the film includes interviews with National WWII Glider Pilots Association, Inc. Chairman Michael J. Samek, surviving glider veterans and legendary journalists Andy Rooney and Walter Cronkite, who flew into Holland with the 101st Airborne Division in 1944. The DVD is already available for preorder on select Internet retail sites and recently premiered to a sell-out crowd at the Soaring Society of America’s annual convention.
Writer and Producer/Director Robert Child says, “Being a glider pilot was among one of the toughest assignments in the war. These heroic men flew troops and supplies into battle - landing virtually on top of the enemy. If they survived the crash landing, then they fought on the ground. Thousands of lives were saved and battles won because of their efforts. In fact, one pilot we interviewed said - the 'G' in their emblem didn't stand for glider; it stood for 'guts'. I am pleased that we are able to bring their stories to life in this film."
From the early race to build gliders to the D-Day invasion at Normandy to Germany’s final surrender, Silent Wings – The American Glider Pilots of World War II reveals the critical role gliders played in World War II offensives. Through rare archival footage and photographs, the film places the audience right at the center of the action in the hazardous world of the American glider pilot. According to one general, glider pilots were considered to be “the most uninhibited individuals ever to wear an American uniform.”
Robert Child previously produced Inecom’s Lincoln and Lee at Antietam – The Cost of Freedom, which has been honored with a WorldFest Special Jury Award and the CINE Gold Eagle Award. Child’s other films include Gettysburg: Three Days of Destiny and Gettysburg: The Boys in Blue and Gray.
