The film originally debuted on Capitol Hill in coordination with the simultaneous passage of House Resolution 42 honoring WWII glider pilots on the DVD street date. Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, Director Robert Child and National WWII Glider Pilots Association, Inc. Chairman Michael J. Samek were on hand for the events. Samek, who passed away in April, as well as McCarthy, also appear in the film.
Narrated by acclaimed actor Hal Holbrook, the film also includes interviews with surviving glider veterans and legendary journalists Andy Rooney and Walter Cronkite, who flew into Holland with the 101st Airborne Division in 1944.
From the early race to build gliders to the D-Day invasion at Normandy to Germany’s final surrender, Silent Wings 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.
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.
