In a career of more than fifty years – spanning Hollywood’s golden era to 1976 - Hollywood icon John Wayne created a personal treasure trove of films during a fifty-year career, spanning 1926-1976. Today, many years after his death, scarcely an hour goes by without one of them appearing somewhere in the world’s TV listings. 

In this era of re-mastered miracles, most of his films have been available to the public, but two of them, Island in the Sky (1953) and The High and the Mighty (1954), were unavailable until the summer of 2005. 

This book looks at both films in some depth. Director William A. Wellman, a Hollywood legend in his own right; the rich array of stars of both movies; Ernie Gann, the writer of both the novels on which the films are based, and of course John Wayne’s dual roles as producer and star of both movies are all investigated thoroughly.
