Wings for the Eagle (aka Shadow of Their Wings) is a 1942 American drama film starring Ann Sheridan, Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson and George Tobias, directed by Lloyd Bacon. It tells the story of workers at a Lockheed aircraft assembly plant in the months preceding the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was the first of 11 films in which Morgan and Carson appeared together, though they did not become known as a movie "team" until a few years later.
