Silent Wings Film Narrator Hal Holbrook Garners Academy Award Nomination
Pittsburgh, PA - February 20, 2008 - Inecom Entertainment Company congratulates Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII narrator Hal Holbrook on his Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in Into the Wild.
"Among the most enjoyable aspects of producing Silent Wings was working with Hal Holbrook. He remains one of the true legends and gentlemen in the industry. Our hearty best wishes and congratulations go out to him for this honor." said Producer/Director Robert Child.
CINE Golden Eagle award-winning Silent Wings includes interviews with Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, former 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.
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 Golden Eagle Award.

Silent Wings Film Screening Portrays Critical Role of WWII Glider Pilots at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
Dayton, OH - October 16, 2007 - The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force will feature a screening of Silent Wings – The American Glider Pilots of WWII at 10 a.m. on Nov. 10 in the Carney Auditorium.
Narrated by Hal Holbrook, 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 dangerous world of the American glider pilot.
During World War II, 6,000 young Americans volunteered to fly large unarmed cargo gliders into battle. For these glider pilots, every mission was critical. It was their task to repeatedly risk their lives landing the men and tools of war deep within enemy-held territory, often in complete darkness. Thousands of lives were saved and battles won because of their efforts.
Distributed by Inecom Entertainment Company, the film includes interviews with former 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.
New York congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy who sponsored a House Resolution honoring glider pilots said, “For nearly 50 years, our nation knew very little about these courageous men. They are finally receiving the recognition they deserve through the release of Silent Wings and passage of a House Resolution in their name.”
No tickets are necessary for this free film screening. Doors to the Carney Auditorium open at 9 a.m. More information about the film is available at http://www.silentwingsfilm.com/.
The National Museum of the United States Air Force is located on Springfield Street, six miles northeast of downtown Dayton. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day).

World War 1 - American Legacy Selected as Finalist in Best Documentary Category at GI Film Festival
"The mission of the GI Film Festival is simple - to celebrate the successes and sacrifices of the American Armed Forces through the medium of film," said GI Film Festival President Brandon Millett. "From the American Revolution through the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, our men and women in uniform have given life and limb in defense of freedom. They deserve our respect and our undying gratitude. And that is exactly what we plan to show them this Memorial Day weekend."
Producer/Director Mark Bussler said, "I am honored that World War 1 – American Legacy has been selected for the GI Film Festival. The fascinating stories of the American men and women who served in the Great War is not something that is common knowledge anymore. These brave soldiers, nurses and pilots served by the millions to end the conflict in 1918 and in the process changed American culture forever. In less than a year nearly 50,000 Americans were killed in action and that is something that should not be forgotten."
The GI Film Festival's Hollywood Advisory Committee includes Academy Award winning Actor Ernest Borgnine (From Here to Eternity, McHale's Navy), Actor Chuck Norris (Delta Force, Missing in Action), Academy Award nominated Director John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Director/Screenwriter Ron Maxwell (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals), Director John Dahl (The Great Raid), Executive Producer Lou Reda (Vietnam: Homecoming) and Dr. Ted Baehr, publisher of Movieguide. For more information about the festival, visit www.gifilmfestival.com.
World War 1 – American Legacy vividly tells the many forgotten stories of the men and women who served in the Great War, reminding Americans of their impact on our country that can still be felt today. Filmed in high definition and full of period music, photographs and monuments, the film includes rare images that have never been seen before on screen, bringing the extreme detail of the Great War to life.
Inecom Entertainment Company finances and distributes independent films by partnering with innovative producers and attracting celebrated talent such as Gene Wilder, David Carradine, Keith Carradine, Richard Dreyfuss, Ronald F. Maxwell and Hal Holbrook. Inecom's Lincoln and Lee at Antietam - The Cost of Freedom narrated by Ronald F. Maxwell and Gettysburg and Stories of Valor narrated by Keith Carradine will air nationally on public television and HDTV over the Memorial Day weekend. In addition, Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII narrated by Hal Holbrook is garnering national interest thanks to its debut on Capitol Hill and the simultaneous passage of House Resolution 42 honoring WWII glider pilots on the DVD street date.

Hal Holbrook, Legendary Journalists and Glider Veterans Tell Stories of Heroic Glider Pilots in New Film
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."
