The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell
He defied the army and navy . . . and they gave him a Court Martial!
A principled courtroom drama about a military maverick's defiant stand against institutional indifference, grounded in historical conviction and institutional conflict.
A dramatization of the American general and his court martial for publically complaining about High Command's dismissal and neglect of the aerial fighting forces.
