Mixed Up but not screwball
An uneasy mix of farce and war. Almost two films alternate all the way through, neither can be faulted but the closeness of the Great War and 1930s does not a great film make to modern eyes. Powell has to effectively play two roles in one character while Russell seem to think that she can play Loy!

Fascinating . An eye-opener on how film supported the war (and left out anything that would undermine it)
Ford's career as Navy film director during WW2. Includes all the best films he is known for(mainly in USA). His skill was mainly editing all the camera footage into a narrative, as, with much else in war, much film shot looked like chaos. Became somewhat self aggrandising after the war gilding the lily of his service and navy record, but being attacked directly at Midway can't be denied. Influenced many other Hollywood directors as to how to approach war on film.Documentary or propaganda, or somewhere in between?

Compelling, chishels off a great hunk of the cover up
A detailed, exhaustive investigation that solves many of the queries about the flying and the coverup.. Miller was never in the plane. Yes, a plane crashed and this tells you why, and where it is.
It solves many of the conundrums about the obvious cover up and how this was accomplished, and how President Reagan helped the author(s)! It would be another twenty years on from this book that the secrets of Operation Eclipse opened up the American Intelligence (a contradiction in terms, if ever there was one.) scheme to end the war early in 1944 using *friendly" Germans that was a German sting operation disinformation supplied to cover what became the Battle of the Bulge and cost 70,000 allied lives and of Miller's. This work is invaluable to the revelation of a mystery that lasted from WW11.If hard going at times, a quarto size not easy to hold and several proofreading errors with Xerox copies of their evidence difficult to read. Stick with it and it is revealing. Who probably knew the truth- film star David Niven.! You couldn't make this up.
