A Wing and a Prayer (2015)
60 min
A Wing and a Prayer tells the virtually unknown story of the Al Schwimmer-led secret, illegal operation to give the newborn Jewish state a chance to survive. The film features an exclusive interview with the late Schwimmer, who after leading the 1948 operation launched and ran global aviation innovator Israel Aerospace Industries. This documentary features firsthand accounts of daring escapes and heart-pounding action. Dvir secured exclusive interviews with Schwimmer and key members of his team, such as chief pilot Sam Lewis and Christian radio operator Eddie Styrak. Styrak, Lewis and the rest of Schwimmer's recruits thought they were done fighting after WWII ended in 1945. —Boaz Dvir
