Seller's Description:
Like New in Very Good jacket. Size: 5x0x9; When former World War I flying ace William Wild Bill Wellman directed the war epic Wings, he invented techniques still used to film aerial combat and earned the first Oscar for Best Picture in the process. In this revealing biography of the maverick director, Wellman's son recounts the extraordinary life this often-overlooked visionary of early Hollywood. William Wild Bill Wellman was not Paramount Pictures' first choice to direct the World War I epic Wings (1927), but as a former aviator and war hero, he was the right choice. Despite months waging epic battles of his own with studio executives, Wild Bill managed to finish the big-budget war saga by inventing many of the techniques still used to film aerial battle scenes. The film, starring Clara Bow, broke box office records and earned its studio the first Academy Award for Best Picture. Considered by many to be the last great film of the silent era.
