The McConnell Story

As the alarm wails, Joe McConnell's squad of Sabre pilots are airborne in seconds. The mission: keep enemy planes away from helicopters evacuating wounded infantrymen. The destination: the deadly corridor called MIG Alley. Alan Ladd and June Allyson star as real-life jet aviation pioneer Capt. Joseph McConnell Jr. And his devoted wife Butch. And James Whitmore is the commander who first recognizes McConnell's prowess as a tiger of the sky. In war, McConnell became America's first triple jet ace, downing 16 enemy planes. In peace, he braved the unknown as a test pilot in the jet era's infancy. And The McConnell Story's darting and swerving aerial sequences will thrillingly sweep you up in a great hero's lively life.
