As the alarm wails, Joe McConnellâs squad of Sabre pilots are airborne in seconds. The mission: keep enemy planes away from helicopters evacuating wounded infantrymen. The destination: the deadly corridor called MIG Alley. Alan Ladd and June Allyson star as real-life jet aviation pioneer Capt. Joseph McConnell Jr. and his devoted wife Butch. And James Whitmore is the commander who first recognizes McConnellâs prowess as a âtiger of the sky.â In war, McConnell became Americaâs first triple jet ace, downing 16 enemy planes. In peace, he braved the unknown as a test pilot in the jet eraâs infancy. And The McConnell Storyâs darting and swerving aerial sequences will thrillingly sweep you up in a great heroâs lively life.
