Language. English. They Flew Alone (released in the US as Wings and the Woman with 8 minutes cut out) [1] is a 1942 British biopic about aviator Amy Johnson directed and produced by Herbert Wilcox and starring Anna Neagle, Robert Newton and Edward Chapman. [2][3] It was distributed in the UK and the US by RKO Radio Pictures.
Also called Wings and the Woman, this biopic of famed aviatrix Amy Johnson, who had just died the year before, is as rushed as an obituary written at 3am and submitted only a few minutes before. Neagle and Newton do their best, but it's not enough to salvage what is basically a slap-dash piece of propaganda.
