Silent Wings Film Screenings and Presentation Set for June in Honor of D-Day Anniversary



Pittsburgh, PA - June 4, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company, a producer and distributor of documentary and instructional films, announced that film screenings of Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII are planned next week in honor of the anniversary of D-Day on June 6th. In addition, Director Robert Child will host a presentation and DVD signing at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, The Court at Oxford Valley later this month.

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.

Narrated by acclaimed actor Hal Holbrook, the film includes interviews with Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, 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.
