Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe experimental plane Cass demonstrates to the Navy is in fact a Grumman F3F fighter - the last biplane purchased by the U.S. Navy. It entered service in 1936 and was withdrawn from front-line service by the end of 1941 and transferred to training units. Only 147 were built.
- GoofsWhen testing the new plane in a dive, it appears to be making a vertical dive, but it is obvious from the cloud formations, a horizontal image was rotated 90 degrees to appear to be a vertical image.

Featured review
I was seven years old when I saw this movie with my parents so I would say it left an impression on me
I was seven years old when my parents took me to see "Wings of the Navy" in 1939 at the Vogue Theater in Montebello, CA. I believe this was the first movie I had seen. At least I don't recall any movie before this one. I remember sitting near the back of the theater with my parents. I really like the flying scenes and I remember the sounds of the airplane engines. The love scenes did not do anything for me of course. Boy that is amazing I can remember those details. I remember calling the movie Wings of the Avery. Does anyone know if there was ever a DVD or Video made of the movie? I have looked everywhere I can think of with no luck. If someone knows where I can get a copy of it I would be one happy guy.
Sincerely,
Charles Field
