Jimmy Stewart Wants YOU to Join the Air Force! 1942

This is a new restoration of an old favorite, “Winning Your Wings.” Narrated by Oscar Winner and decorated bomber pilot Jimmy Stewart this rousing recruiting film was designed to show the benefits of joining the Air Corps. The United State's entry into World War II seemed to happen almost overnight. That meant that the Air Force needed thousands qualified air and ground crew "yesterday." Already an accomplished pilot, Stewart enlisted early and served as a bomber pilot and squadron leader on combat missions in Europe throughout the war. The film shows that joining the Air Corps provides a quick path to noncom and high paying officer status and an advanced training program that would prove beneficial after the War. The film points out that every U.S. Air Force bombardier, navigator and pilot was an officer (a sore point with the RAF). It also emphasizes that lack of a college degree is not a prerequisite for advance rank or pilot training. And last, not but not least, that the girls sure go for those pilot's wings! "Winning Your Wings" is also notable for interior and exterior footage of rare prewar vintage B-17s used to film in-flight sequences. "If you're not ready to sign up after hearing this stirring pitch from Jimmy Stewart, well brother, you're just " "a Palooka from Palookaville!"
