"Wild Bill" Wellman wasn't Paramount Pictures' first choice to direct the WWI epic Wings (1927), but as a former fighter pilot and war hero, he was the right choice. He managed to finish the big-budget war saga by inventing many of the techniques still used to film aerial battle scenes. The film broke box office records and earned its studio its first Academy Award.
In thist first-ever biography, the director's son reveals the war hero, family man, occasional prankster, and underestimated visionary who changed Hollywood forever.
William Wellman Jr.
