Amazingly, this was based on a true story, about New Zealand RAF pilot Sergeant James Allen Ward, whose plane caught fire, and he actually climbed out onto the wing and put the fire out, earning the Victoria Cross! Noted English actor Richard Greene was in the service at this time, but he was released from duty long enough to play the lead in this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: very good to fine. The theater that used this slide wrote the days the movie was playing in the playdates section at the bottom of the glass. Otherwise, the glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images). Learn More about condition grades
