"The founding of Israel in 1948 is a miracle the likes of which we often confine
to Old Testament Days, but this is a modern story of God coming to the aide of his
people and it must be remembered. I want to see this feature documentary finished
with a copy in the hands of all God's children!"
PAT BOONE, Legendary Movie Star and Singer/Songwriter
"I am Jewish...my mother's family was annihilated by Hitler. In my mind, I feel
that for one split second the consciousness of the world was elevated to a point
after the holocaust, where the State of Israel would be, could be born and was born
out of this tragedy. The birth of Israel is truly a celebration of life...and from
my tears have come joy...and it makes me feel like I'm...in the words of the theme
from ROCKY that I co-wrote, "GONNA FLY NOW" and yes, the Israeli Air Force was not
only born, it flew on the wings of Angels. This project must get made!"
CAROL CONNORS, Two-time Academy Award Nominated Songwriter
"Too few of us, Jews and Christians alike, know and remember today the story of
how brave individuals from both faiths cared so much about the fate of Israel that
in 1948 they risked it all to come to the defense of the fledging state. Israel
was, against all odds, triumphant! Because of this remarkable accomplishment, Israel
has evolved as the bright light of civilization in the Middle East charting vast
accomplishments in all areas of modern concern. This documentary will preserve for
all time the heroics and humanity of these great people and it must be accomplished
now while some of the first-hand eyewitness accounts of this era can still be captured
and preserved I give my full blessings and support to such an important project."
DANNY DANON, Deputy Speaker of the Israeli Knesset
"It is so important today to remind the world of the brave volunteers that came
in 1948 and accomplished an incredible miracle in establishing the State of Israel.
They came making great personal sacrifice and believing so strongly that Israel
must be protected. These Jewish and Christian heroes knew that Israel is not just
important to the Jewish people, it is important to all people. I look forward to
this light and dedication continuing to shine on Israel's future generations to
come."
JACOB DAYAN, Consul General of Israel in Los Angeles
"ANGELS IN THE SKY is an exquisite and compelling opportunity for viewers to see
the birth of the Israeli Air Force and the magnificent group of men that helped
the country become what it is today. I am very proud that my son, Anthony, is a
part of this project."
JERRY LEWIS, Legendary Movie Star and Comedian
"Among my many involvements in the entertainment industry, I present a daily Jewish
radio program on 101.9 ChaiFM out of Johannesburg, South Africa. It was my pleasure
and honour recently to host Hollywood producer and talent manager, Mike Flint, whilst
he was here discussing his progress in making the feature-length documentary film,
“Angels In The Sky”. During the interview, in which Mike was telling us about his father
Mitchell, who was a volunteer pilot in the 1948 Israel campaign, the most startling and
amazing thing occurred. Steve Katzew, who was listening to my program, turned his car
around and came directly to our station, where he burst in and declared that his dad had
flown with Mike's father in the campaign! Mike had that very morning pulled, from a local
library, pictures of the two fathers. The two sons embraced in a totally magical encounter,
and quite brilliant radio!!! It was a great pleasure for me to witness this union and to
have been instrumental in bringing Mike's story to our listeners. I wish him the best of
luck with this production, which I am certain will be a huge success."
ANNABEL LINDER, One of South Africa's Leading Actresses
"The creation of Israel remains a remarkable, odds-defying story that bears retelling.
At a time when Washington and Jerusalem find themselves at odds and some are questioning
the future of the alliance, it's worth recalling how the relationship began"
