Plot #1 is the love triangle between two guys and one girl as they grow into adults and affiliate themselves in the new aircraft industry. Plot #2 is aircraft evolution from the days of Wilbur and Orville Wright to just prior to WWII. I agree with your other viewers–a very well made action film. I saw this when I was 8 years old and loved it–even though some of the crash scenes were scary. I did see it on TV once, perhaps 10 or 15 years ago, so I think the negative still exists. AMC should be encouraged to broadcast it. I saw 'Men With Wings' when I was about 10 years old and it started a life- long interest in aviation. In 1964 I bought myself a 1932 bi-plane (a Spartan Arrow) and I still have it, although my son flies it more than I do these days. I have flown many airplanes in my lifetime including a Vultee Valiant, a DC3 (Dakota) many Tiger Moths and Piper Cubs (on floats) and many more. I have had an article on my airplane published in the February issue of Aeroplane and one on flying the Vultee Valiant in 'Flypast'. I have not seen 'Men With Wings' since that first time, and would love to see it again. If anyone has it on video(pal) or DVD, I would love to buy a copy. Ray Blain
