The story line IS cheesy, as others have said. I also agree that Ann Sheridan is the best actor in it, but also like George Tobias. I really like the movie, though, as a PERIOD STUDY of Southern California aircraft production in WWII! The factory and airplane footage is very good and often detailed. Fascinating for a pilot like myself! BUT, WHY did they have to kill a pilot?! WAY TOO MANY aviation themed movies do that - aargh! Some of the still photos in The Proud Bird restaurant near LAX show factory scenes much like in "Wings for the Eagle." Also interesting as a period piece for all the SLANG, as well as cultural and wartime more's.

I cannot disagree with the previous reviewer's assessment that this is not a particularly outstanding movie. It was made during war time about the war effort as opposed to strictly being made for entertainment, however, there are some very positive attributes about it. The aspects of the movie that do not center around Sheridan, Morgan and Carson are a little slow and convenient for a war flick. The aspects of the movie that do center around the three stars, however, are outstanding. Ann Sheridan was one of the most beautiful women ever on screen and she is glowingly gorgeous throughout this movie. Additionally, she was a bright, sharp-witted women who in this movie gets to frequently throw verbal-barbs at her co-stars. This is one of my favorite aspects of movies that she stars in. Also, Morgan and Carson play off each other well and have several good scenes including a hilarious confrontation in a bar. This is better than most movies out there.

A good cast goes to waste in this story of two pals, Dennis Morgan (qv) and Jack Carson (qv), dueling for the affections of Ann Sheridan (qv).Make no mistake about it -- Ann Sheridan is definitely worth fighting for. It's just too bad that Wings for the Eagle doesn't put up much of a fight when it comes to telling a story.If you want to see the starring trio in a much better movie then check out _Shine On, Harvest Moon (1944)_ (qv). Or, to a lesser degree, _One More Tomorrow (1946)_ (qv).
