AN EIGHTH AIR FORCE
WW II MOVIE

Edsel B. Ford II was kind enough to write the cover accolade for my book, Willow Run, Colossus of American Industry.

Now, this book serves as the basis of a screen play for a full-length motion picture portraying the most powerful battles of the Eighth Air Force to come out of World War II, combined with the true account of how Henry Ford’s right-hand man and confident, Charles Sorensen, conceived and built the largest manufacturing plant in the world, employing over 40,000 people. They mass-produced the 20 ton, four engine B-24 "Liberator" bomber, at the unbelievable rate of one per hour, for the 8th to defeat Hitler.

The accompanying love story focuses on an American B-24 pilot and a beautiful German Jew living in London, as a Nazi double agent, who fought a war inside of the war to be together, and brought about the financial collapse of Germany.

The script has been reviewed by the Secretary of the US Air Force Public Affairs: Departments of Movies and TV, who will give their final approval and support to its production once the studio has been selected. The Ford Motor Company has already given the green light to the script.

Colonel “Hap” Chandler, President, Second Air Division; Trustee, of the Mighty Eighth Air Force Heritage Museum; and, Founding President, Georgia Chapter 8th Air Force Historical Society (with 85 combat missions) has reviewed the script and sent several letters that enthusiastically support the movie’s production. (His Letters, and an Overview may be seen on the web at (“yellowairplane.com,” or Warren Benjamin Kidder ) John Travolta, mentioned in one of his letters), or Tom Cruise may have an interest in portraying Jimmy Stewart, (the actor, and retired General) who was the 8th Air Force operations officer; Or, one of the other characters such as Charles Lindbergh, Sorensen, who conceived the unbelievable mass production of the B-24, or Mr. Ford himself.

The script has been professionally reviewed, even audioed, and will produce a movie more powerful than Pearl Harbor, when properly produced.

Burkheimer who produced Pearl Harbor, and knows Willow Run, from having lived in Detroit, would be an excellent director; or Spielberg because his Jewish background matches that of the heroine. Both, would do an excellent job and be greatly appreciated by the Eight Air Force, and the Jewish society.

Your assistance in bring this script to a Hollywood studio for production would be greatly appreciated. Sincere, requests for Copyright script with WGA registration are encouraged..

Sincerely,

Warren Benjamin Kidder, Author “Willow Run”
