Elizabeth Montgomery, who became a household name with her role as Samantha in "The Wife is a Witch" ('64-'72), is the star of the cast. --Billy Mitchell, an Army Air Force brigadier general who won many victories in World War I and was called a hero of the skies, always advocated the establishment of an Air Force even after the war. With the squadrons using outdated aircraft without parachutes, Mitchell appealed for the safety of pilots and the strengthening of the aviation department, but his superiors would not listen to him. This led to a series of plane crashes and Mitchell lost his best friend. Mitchell's anger reached a peak, and he gathered newspaper reporters to criticize his superiors. This was accused of violating army ordinances, and a 12-page leaflet (commentary by Yuji Tanaka) is enclosed. This product is not on-demand, but a press product.
