THE COURT-MARTIAL OF BILLY MITCHELL

Details

• Release Year: 1955
• Genre: Drama, War
• Plot: The true story of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneering crusader for the Army's fledgling air corp. In spite of an impressive performance during the First World War, the commanders of America's armed forces still think of the airplane as little more then a carnival attraction. Even after sinking an 'unsinkable' captured German battleship from the air, Mitchell sees funds dry up and friends die due to poor equipment. He is court-martialed after questioning the loyalty of his superiors for allowing the air corp to deteriorate. Written by KC Hunt {khunt@eng.morgan.edu}
