Submitter Statement

As a former airline pilot who has lost and known many aviators, I wanted to make a film that pays homage to all these lost aircrew, especially those who lost their lives in combat. Crews that have now joined 'Angel Fleet' - This is how this short came about and I am very grateful to everyone who helped make this short film possible, especially my airline Captain Executive Producer, Captain Herb Jackson Jr
