It was also supposedly the first film to get the blessing of the Air Force and thus filmed partially on its training grounds.

An interesting, but true, fact about Wings (well, for me at least): the majority of the movie was filmed at a military base that is within walking distance of my house.

Yes, Wings was made several years before the Code.

I saw the film with my late co-writer Mason, and regarding the scene you mentioned -- which in the print we saw was accompanied by the music for the song "My Buddy" -- we looked st each other and said, "Wow, this is the gayest Hollywood film ever," In fact, it's the relationship between Richard Arlen and Buddy Rogers that makes the film memorable and renders it an excellent standard bearer to ne the first Best Picture winner.

I'd like your thoughts on someone?
Does anyone find this film highly homoerotic. The biggest indication for me came from a scene at the end !SPOILER ALERT! where Jack is holding Dave in a manner very reminiscent of many Hollywood passionate love scenes.
