Wings is a 1927 movie directed by William A. Wellman and was the first film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. The movie remains as one of the best aerial combat pictures ever made and was the very first to receive the Academy Award for Best Picture. On the eve of World War I, Jack and David are two young Americans who are both in love with Sylvia. Rivals in everything else they do, they join the air forces with the outbreak of war. As the war progresses, they become not only flying races, but best friends. But the old rivalry over Sylvia threatens to destroy this friendship. Clara Bow, Charles “Buddy” Rogers (as Charles Rogers), Richard Arlen, Jobyna Ralston, El Brendel, Richard Tucker, and Gary Cooper starred in the film.
